Book of Hours (Use of Rouen): fol. 129r

Master of the Geneva Latini

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with a page of black text on the left and an illuminated border on the right. The text is written in Latin and appears to be in an old-fashioned font. The text is divided into sections with initials and decorative elements. The right side of the page features a large, ornate border with blue, gold, green, and red designs. The border includes floral patterns and scrollwork. The page has a yellowed, aged appearance, suggesting it is from an old manuscript. The book appears to be a Book of Hours, a type of medieval prayer book. The overall design and style of the page suggest that it is from the 15th century.
