Physical Description:

Extent: 1 leaf; Paper (fiber product); 18.4 cm x 13.7 cm

Note:

Script: Cursive
Decoration: initials (layout features); long-line format; marginalia (annotations);
Provenance: This leaf is from a portfolio compiled by The Foliophiles Inc. and issued as a limited edition under the title "Pages from the past: Original leaves from rare books and manuscripts."
Provenance: The set of leaves belonging to Ohio University is number 18 of 20 in "Portfolio set I: History of the written word."
Provenance: The transcribed labels accompanying these leaves were originally written by The Foliophiles, Inc., a now-defunct New York association of rare book dealers that was also known as the Society of Foliophiles.
Provenance: Between 1925 and 1968 The Foliophiles disbound hundreds of historical texts and assembled them into several thematic portfolio sets.
Provenance: These were then issued in “editions” of between 15 and 200 leaves. Universities across America subsequently purchased these portfolios as teaching tools.
Provenance: While a small number of the selected leaves come from other cultures, the vast majority are from European texts. The collecting and marketing practices of The Foliophiles reflect the values of the members of the association and the contemporary American rare book market.
Provenance: Original descriptions, therefore, may contain outdated language, speculation, or inaccurate information.
The following text is based on the original seller's label. FROM LOS VIRTUOSOS VARONES, author unknown
A Portuguese manuscript on the nobility of the Portuguese aristocracy, circa 1450
An unusual work on fine paper with the distinctive barbed design of the initial letters that mark it with the Portuguese accent
The black having faded to a soft brown and the gold embellishing to yellow, this little book shows gentle usage through the thumb-print smudges on the corners
Tiny Portugal left its mark in history through trade and discovery, and one seldom finds works of this era
