Master of the Geneva Latini

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with a page on the left containing black text in a medieval script, and a decorative border on the right. The left page contains 18 lines of black calligraphy text. The right page has a decorative border that is one-third of the page width. The border has a white background and features blue, gold, green, and red designs. The designs include leaves, flowers, and scrollwork. The border is ornate and appears to be hand-illuminated. The pages are off-white and have a yellowed appearance. The book appears to be old and possibly hand-bound. The right page is blank except for the decorative border. The image is well-lit, suggesting a museum or library setting.
