Material: Vellum or paper, hand-inscribed Latin text in Gothic textura script, painted initials, foliate border decoration
Date: Possibly 14th century; more likely a post-medieval revival or manuscript-style leaf — examination outside frame recommended for firm attribution
Measurements: Frame 9" x 10"; image 4¼" x 5"; framed double-sided
Provenance: Private collection, Tucson, AZ
Note: Text is authentic Latin Psalm 101/102 (Vulgate). Style closely imitates late medieval illumination. Based on visual inspection alone, a later revival or manuscript-style reproduction cannot be ruled out; physical examination outside the frame is advised for firm dating.
A leaf bearing the Latin text of Psalm 101/102 (Vulgate), written in Gothic textura script with painted decorated initials and a foliate border. The text includes characteristic verses: Tu autem, Domine, in aeternum permanes; Tu exurgens misereberis Sion; Et timebunt gentes nomen tuum, Domine; and In conveniendo populos in unum, among others. The illumination style is consistent with late medieval manuscript production, though the piece may represent a later revival or scholarly reproduction. Framed double-sided to display both faces of the leaf.
