Late medieval layout for liturgical MSS

MS single leaf; vellum ; 161 x 112  mm

                                                                  [verso]   

Written in Gothic semi-quadrata formata script. A leaf from a Breviary (the feast of SS. Peter and Paul) with initials in gold and blue. Rubrics in red.

The combination of initials and versals in alternating blue and gold (or red) and the rubrics in red seems to be a typical layout for late medieval breviaries, missals, and psalters.
