Ohio University Leaf 30
This leaf comes from a French Book of Hours made in the middle of the fifteenth century. It measures 38.5 x 28 cm. The text block on both the recto and verso is bordered by a thick hedge of gilded holly and ivy, as well as flowers which Ege identifies as daisy, thistle, cornbottle, and stock. The black ink used for the main text has become less substantial over time, and there is a relative lack of rubrication of response abbreviations.
Text: This leaf contains text from the Seven Requests of Our Lord (the later requests, I think--5, 6, 7), in French. According to the Center for Håndskriftstudier i Danmark [CHD], "This prayer was in a period in the 15th Century (combined with the 'XV Joys of our Virgin'), an almost mandatory part of the last section in a French book of hours."
