76/1823 [Medieval manuscripts]. Leaf from a Book of Hours, Northern Netherlands, 15th cent., Latin text in black ink on vellum, littera textualis, rubricated, recto and verso, 20,9x15 cm. (leaf), 11,2x8,3 cm. (text), 15/ 7 lines, two full pen flourished borders in colours, heightened w. gold, one 2-line initial in red, blue and pink on a gold field, heightened w. white, 2 line-fillers in blue and pink, heightened w. gold, framed w. both sides visible.

- Some smudging in marginal decoration on verso; verso w. 2 sm. pieces of sellotape (?) in upper corners.

= With an 8-line manuscript addition of a Collect in Latin by a later owner in a littera humanistica with a two-line initial in blue on a red field, heightened w. white and gold. Interesting marginal decoration in the so-called "bonte stijl", typical of the diocese Utrecht, but restricted to one margin instead of "krullen vervolgens rond dunne horizontale staven in de boven- en ondermarge" (Korteweg, A.S. Kriezels, aubergines en takkenbossen, p.37).
