Description: | The writing of this manuscript was apparently completed in 1458; at the start of the volume is an inscription recording that William Ebchester, Prior of Durham Cathedral, had it made.
The decoration of this page uses typical 15th-century English decorative motifs in unusual ways. The initials are in gold and blue, and the penwork flourishing combines gold with purple, and blue with red. A number of the flourishes terminate with trefoils or spiky holly-leaf shapes. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
