The Gotha Missal: Fol. 163v, Text

Master of the Boqueteaux

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open, old book with yellowed pages. The book's cover is brown and worn, with visible signs of aging. The pages are off-white and have a parchment-like texture. The left page has a large block of black text in a medieval script, with a few words or letters highlighted in red ink. The right page also features a large block of black text in the same script, with several words or letters highlighted in blue and red ink. The pages are numbered, with "164" visible in the top-right corner of the right page. The book appears to be lying flat on a dark surface. The pages have a few small holes and stains, and the edges are worn and rough. The text is written in Latin and appears to be a liturgical or religious text. The highlighting and decoration suggest it may be a significant or ceremonial manuscript.
