Ege Famous Bibles Leaf 04

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 matte created by Otto Ege, as are all other leaves in this collection. There is a typed description at the bottom of the matte, which reads: "Latin Vulgate version written in Gothic script, seven lines to the inch, on fine vellum. The calligraphy and ornamentation on this page deserve close inspection. This form of writing is marked contrast to the minute, much abbreviated and angular text of the preceding century."
