(Missale Bellovacense)
FROM THE COLLECTION OF OTTO F. EGE.
This manuscript, a special gift to a church in the city of Beauvais, was written for Robert de Hangest, a canon, about 1285 A.D. At that time, Beauvais was one of the most important art centers in all Europe
The ornament in this leaf shows the first flowering of Gothic interest in nature
The formal hieratic treatment is here giving way to graceful naturalism
The ivy branch has put forth its first leaves in the history of ornament
The writing, likewise, is departing from its previous rigid character and displays an ornamental pliancy which harmonizes with the decorative initials.
Fifty original leaves from medieval manuscripts, Western Europe, XII-XVI century
