Kislak Center for Special Collections – Manuscripts Ms. Coll. 591 Folder 21
There’s something whimsical I just love about the added red decoration to the illuminated initials I saw at Coffee With a Codex this morning.
Today’s #ManuscriptOfTheDay is Ms. Codex 1060, a calendar and lectionary, ca. 1450, and gradual from the last quarter of the 15th century, for use in an unidentified Carthusian foundation, likely in Germany #medievaltwitter
