The Gotha Missal: Fol. 107r, Text

Master of the Boqueteaux

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages. The book is open to a two-page spread, with the left and right pages visible. The pages are filled with black text in a language that appears to be Latin, written in a medieval script. The text is arranged in columns, with the left page having three columns and the right page having two columns. The text is accompanied by decorative elements, including blue and red illuminated letters, borders, and filigree. The pages have a worn, aged appearance, with visible signs of aging such as discoloration, staining, and wear along the edges. The book's cover is not visible, but the pages are bound together with a dark brown cover. The background of the image is black, providing a stark contrast to the yellowed pages. The image appears to be a photograph of an old, possibly medieval, manuscript.
