Missale: Fol. 183: Foliage decoration

Bartolommeo Caporali

Cleveland Museum of Art

Medieval manuscript page with musical notation and handwritten text in black and red ink. The page has a large decorative letter "L" in the center, adorned with blue, green, and purple foliage and a circular blue and green design. The letter is surrounded by colorful vines and tendrils. A smaller, symmetrical floral design is at the bottom of the page. The background of the page is off-white with visible signs of aging. The text is written in Latin and appears to be in an illuminated manuscript style, characteristic of medieval book art.
