Description
A very beautifully printed leaf from a Paris Book of Hours. The printer was Antoine Verard and the date 1506.
Although the text was printed, the initials were painted by hand in red, blue, and liquid gold.
The text is from the Office of the Dead, Lauds, with psalm 50, in French!!! The first words of the verses are in Latin, the rest in French: Miserere mei?. Ayes mercy de mois mon dieu? [Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.] Amplius lava?Et oultre lave moy? [Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.]
In the margins, we see Death taking off all kinds of people: the knight, the abbess, the woman of easy virtue, the lawyer!!
Reference: eb25
