Légende

Decorated Text Page; Prayer Book of Charles the Bold, 1469. Additional Info: In this luxurious personal prayer book, even the usually plain pages of text are decorated. The scribe Nicolas Spierinc elegantly copied the text of the prayer to Saint Sebastian that begins on this page, with his pen flourishes extending into the margins. The ornament on the upper right springs from the ascending line of a letter b in the text. Such a letter, flourished with wide parallel pen strokes and occasional cross strokes, is known as a cadelle.
