Folio 113 verso; Book of Hours, Flemish manuscript on vellum, fifteenth century
Special Collections, John Hay Library, Brown University


The folio shown here depicts the adoration of the lamb and comes from a book of hours produced in Flanders in the fifteenth century, with richly illustrated and decorated leaves. This folio has floreated margins with much shading and deep coloring. The frame of the picture harnesses royal colors-deep reds, blues, and golds. The manuscript itself is in excellent condition, with wood-board binding in leather, stamped, with functional brass clutches. (commentary by J. Pucci)
