Leaf on vellum from a manuscript Book of Hours.

A wonderful vellum leaf from a French Book of Hours, written at the end of the Middle Ages, around 1480, in Angers on the river Loire.
This region was well known for the many workshops for Books of Hours and many masters who worked there, as Jouvenel, Robinet Tesard and the Master of the Geneva Boccaccio, became famous.
There are many initials in red, blue and gold and many line fillers in the same colors.
The text is from the Hours of the Virgin, Lauds, psalm 66. Here is the transcription and translation of part of this psalm:[ In finem in hymnis Psalmus cantici David Deus misereatur nostri et benedicat nobis inluminet vultum suum super nos et misereatur nostri
Unto the end, in, hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David. May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.
