Ege Box Three, Leaf 06

Abstract

This image is from a collection created by Etta Hanson and given to the College in 1954. All items are from Otto Ege's estate. The leaf was contained and mounted in a mat created by Otto Ege, as are all other leaves in this collection. There is a handwritten description at the bottom of the mat, which reads: “1235 A.D. – France – (Beauvais) – Missal Leaf on fine vellum (11 ½ “ x 8 “)”. The text is written in two columns with black and red inks. This leaf has nine decorative initials, made with several colors of ink along with gold leaf. The initials feature long flourishes that extend into the margins. There are two Beauvais Missal leaves in this collection.
