European
Possibly 14th century; more likely post-medieval revival or manuscript-style reproduction
Vellum or paper; hand-inscribed Latin text in Gothic textura script, painted initials, foliate border decoration
Frame 9" (22.9 cm) x 10" (25.4 cm); image 4 1/4" x 5" (10.8 x 12.7 cm); framed double-sided
Provenance: Private collection, Tucson, AZ
This leaf bears the Latin text of Psalm 101/102 (Vulgate), written in Gothic textura script with painted decorated initials and a foliate border in the manner of late medieval manuscript illumination. The text is authentic Latin Vulgate and the illumination style closely imitates late medieval production, though the piece may represent a post-medieval revival or manuscript-style reproduction rather than a 14th-century original; physical examination outside the frame is advised for firm dating. The leaf is framed double-sided, suggesting the reverse also carries text or decoration.
