[Beautiful collection of medieval manuscript leaves] "Losse perkamenten bladen

uit middeleeuwse verluchte religieuze boeken- uren-boeken e.d. 13e-16e eeuw." Beautiful collection of 23 manuscript leaves of various sizes on vellum and 2 fragments of leaves from the aforementioned period, all with Latin text, with rich gilt initials and/ or margins, with left margin pasted in modern cardboard album with title label on front board.

Contains several small series of leaves from the same book. The most eye-catching leaves are the first leaf (due to its age and the extremely detailed penwork) and two brilliant leaves with very rich gilt decoration in the shape of curling leaf tendrils on fairly grand size (20 x 14.5 and 21 x 15 cm., at the same time also the largest complete leaves from the collection). Additionally, several other leaves also contain very finely and colourfully finished margins, one leaf contains a brilliantly detailed initial with miniature of God the Father on his throne holding Christ on the cross before him (total 23 complete leaves and 2 fragments in one volume).
