The Gotha Missal: Fol. 15r, Text

Master of the Boqueteaux

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open, two-page spread from a medieval manuscript. The pages are yellowed and worn, with rough, uneven edges. The text is written in black ink, with some letters and decorative elements in red and blue ink. The text is arranged in two columns on each page, with the left column slightly narrower than the right. The text is written in a formal, cursive script, and appears to be in Latin. Decorative elements include intricate borders of vines and flowers, which frame the text on both pages. The borders are rendered in red, blue, and black ink, and feature small illustrations of leaves and flowers. The pages are numbered "15" in the top-right corner of the right page. The background of the image is black, suggesting that the manuscript is being displayed against a dark surface.
