A wonderful leaf from a French Bible with text from the book Ezekiel and the beginning of the prologue to Daniel. There are 42 lines in a very regular gothic book hand. One initial is beautifully decorated in gold, red and blue with a stylized dragon inside with his long tail extending into the margin. The name of the book is at the top in red and blue.
