MS 5650/118

Manuscript leaf from a Missal, in Latin, produced in Italy (possibly Tuscany)

c.1450

Text: From a Missal, in Latin

Script: Southern Textualis Formata (Rotunda)

The text of the Missal leaf is taken partly from Matthew and partly from the Epistle to the Philippians. The writing is a Rotunda script in double columns of thirty-two lines, in black ink with rubrics in red. There are ten two-line versals alternately in red or blue, with extensive penwork border decoration in red or blue. There are two sizes of script. The Missal was written in Italy and probably in Tuscany.
