Decorated Incipit Page with Vere Dignum Monogram; Sacramentary, about 1025-1050. Additional Info:The first two words of the prayer Vere Dignum (Truly fitting) appear as an elaborate monogram of entwined vine scrolls. The use of gold on the purple painted parchment imitates the appearance of the purple-dyed parchment used in luxurious imperial manuscripts of late antiquity.
