Description

This remarkable manuscript was illuminated by a Flemish-trained artist of great skill. It was produced after 1519, as it contains a commemoration and accompanying miniature of St. Franciscus de Paulo, who was canonized by Leo X that year. The program of illustration found in this manuscript is extensive, consisting of twenty large miniatures with trompe-l'oeil borders, twenty-four small miniatures of saints, and numerous illuminated initials.
