Leaf from a Breviary

Description:

There are four large initials on the verso: two red I's that are 11 lines tall, one red I that is 7 lines tall, and an "N" in black ink with red pen-flourishing, approximately 5 lines tall, extending into the upper margin. On the recto there is another large "N" on the top line, this time with black pen-flourishing and only a single line of red ink, and also a blue "I" that is 9 lines tall. The capitals are touched in red. A running title on verso in red reads "lxxxiii". The text is broken up with litterae notabiliores (majuscule forms decorated with a line of red ink), rubrics, and punctus.
