16th century
Description:
The image shows a page of a medieval manuscript. The manuscript reveals Gothic lettering that is characterised by its ornamental quality and careful proportions. Accentuated by illuminations in red and blue, it bears witness to a high level of craftsmanship. The condition of the parchment, obviously aged and stained in the margins, emphasises its historical significance and preserves the aesthetics of its era. This copy was probably made in the later 16th century.
