Bibliography: Alexander c. 2010, pp. 66-67.
One leaf: Lilian Armstrong writes of the artist’s style: “Most typical are the saint’s eyes, with their curiously puffy eyelids, and his hair and beard a distinctive mix of pale grey and yellow. Also reminiscent of Antonio Maria’s figures are the saint’s long fingers and the intensity of his gaze”.
One leaf: Latin.
One leaf: The initial opens the anitphon for Matins on the Saturday before the fhrist Sunday in November (Isaiah 6:1) The name inscribed on a banderole is Jeremiah, probably in error.
Explicit, One leaf: Vidi dominum sedentem super solium.
