2143. Bible leaf with historiated initial (Ruth with sheaves and dragons)

Notes:
Holes visible from gathering stitching., On verso: A historiated initial “I” (In diebus unus) opens the book of Ruth and depicts an upright Ruth holding the sheaves in the crook of her left arm, while with her right arm she points to a blue dragon curling above her. A green dragon extends downwards below her feet. The tails of both dragons are flecked with gold leaf. 1-line Roman Numeral chapter number in the margin alternating red and blue with pen flourishes on recto and verso., A single leaf from a Bible with text from Judges 20:35 - Ruth 2:14., 2 column of about 50 lines per column, ruled in plummet in Pregothic or textualis rotunda script., and Produced in France, c. 1230, possibly in a workshop that specialized in moralized bibles. According to the seller, the ornament, figure style, and details of the historiated initial are closest to a number of manuscripts that Robert Branner has grouped around “Leber 6,” a Psalter (Rouen, Bibliothèque Municipale). If this is correct, then the leaf came from the same workshop responsible for the Vienna moralized bible; however, additional research needs to be done. Purchased in 2013 from Boyd Mackus, The Mackus Company, Springfield, Illinois, by Special Collections, Waldo Library.
