Very fine, early 15th century, Dutch manuscript leaf on vellum. Superbly illuminated in a style reminiscent of the Master of the Morgan Infancy Cycle. Both sides are illuminated in burnished gold leaf with initials, line-fillers and delicate leaves. The verso contains the Lectio Prima from the book of Job, chapter 7, verse 16B with a splendid 3-line initial and garland of leaves covering the entire margin.
