The Gotha Missal: Fol. 13v, Text

Master of the Boqueteaux

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open, old book with yellowed pages. The book's pages are off-white and have a worn, aged appearance. The text on the pages is written in Latin and appears to be in black ink, with some red and blue ink used for decoration. The text is arranged in columns, with intricate borders and illuminated letters. The borders feature floral designs and geometric patterns, while the illuminated letters are large and ornate. The book's cover is not visible, but the pages are bound together with a thin strip of leather or fabric. The background of the image is black, which helps to highlight the details of the book. The overall appearance of the book suggests that it is a rare and valuable manuscript, possibly from the Middle Ages. The book appears to be a religious text, likely a missal, given the title "The Gotha Missal".
