A leaf from the Llangattock Breviary, which orginally comprised more than 500 leaves. The leaf consists of text from the Actus Apostolorum 2:40 - 3:9.

Leaves from the Llangattock Breviary are among the collections of the following institutions: Harvard, U.C. Berkeley, American Academy in Rome, Michigan State, U. South Carolina, University of Washington, Hill Monastic Manuscript Library, Dartmouth College, the Louvre Museum, and Museo Schifanoia in Ferrara.

Description

Provenance:
"All aspects of the leaf--size, format, and illumination--correspond to those of the Missel of Borso d'Este, marquis and then duke of Ferrara (Modena, Biblioteca Estense, Ms W.5.2., lat. 239) and the Breviary was certainly made either for him or his predecessor Leonello and intended, like the Missal, for the ruler's chapel. It is usually identified with the Breviary record in accounts in the d'Este archives as having been illuminated for Leonello by Giorgio d'Alemagna." -- from dealer's description
