- Flesh side distinct from hair side; high quality parchment., Three full-length bar borders of gold with pen florishes supporting foliage; 4-line initial "A" with miniature of St. John in tempera colors and gold. Rubrication in red. Five 2-line initials in gold on a ground of blue or mauve with white tracery. 1-line initials in gold or blue with contrasting pen florishes. Three full-length bar borders of gold with terminal or marginal sprays or scrolling penwork tendrils supporting flowers, foliage, and gold disks. Ink faded on both sides., 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. The Breviary was created as a luxury liturgical manuscript for Leonello d'Este (1407-1450), Marchese of Ferrara, by illuminator Giorgio d'Almagna and assistants during the years 1441-1448. 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. Many leaves are still offered for sale in the book trade., 2 columns of 30 lines in brown ink written in Gothic Textualis rotunda., and "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

- Notes:
- Bound in post-medieval limp vellum. Two parchment ties on the fore edge, now broken.

Notation in margins in pencil noting psalm chapters (modern, not vulgate). Obtained by Jean Roos from Otto F. Ege of Cleveland Ohio at an unknown date.
