Anon., 1470 [Illuminated Leaf] ""A very rare and unusual vellum leaf from a Dutch Book of Hours. The border on the verso is illuminated in a sophisticated fountain-style array of acanthus leaves in red, green and dark blue. There are two large initials, one illuminated in gold. This decoration is often found in books illuminated by the Masters of the Haarlem Bible; these masters took their name from a three-volume bible made for the Knights of St. John in Haarlem, Holland. The text is from the Book of Hours translated into Dutch, probably by Geert Groote. Most medieval books were written in Latin, the language of the church. Geert Groote, the father of the Devotio Moderna, or Broederschap des Gemenen Levens as his movement was called in Dutch, was a great advocate of the vernacular in religious books. Beginning with the large """"I"""" on the recto, the text is from Psalm 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth."" 3.8"" W x 5.1"" H Very minor soiling and a few minute worm holes only visible when held to light.
