Saec. XV. This beautiful example is on very white vellum, and seems to have been purposely spaced out so as to allow of a large amount of decoration; though the pages are small and the letters of the text are full-size, by the use of 200 pp. containing 12 lines only, an extra large margin has been left, adding greatly to the beauty of the page: the relative proportions being, text 2 × 13; illuminated outer border 22 x, the page itself 53 × 4. THE MINIATURES ARE: ST. JOHN; ST. MARK; ST. PETER; ST. LUKE; the ANNUNCIATION; the ASSUMPTION; the PRESENTATION in the TEMPLE; PENTECOST; the NATIVITY; the SHEPHERDS; the ADORATION of the MAGI; the CIRCUMCISION; the FLIGHT into EGYPT; the CORONATION of the VIRGIN; KING DAVID; RAISING of LAZARUS, and the HOLY TRINITY. The BORDERS are very beautiful, in design and execution, and are specially noteworthy from the use of rich tones of blue interspersed with broad floral sprays of gold, shaded with red. With the exception of the first and two borders in the middle, which are slightly rubbed, the whole may be said to be in perfect condition; the eighth page of nearly every quire has a catchword low down on the bottom which would, in the case of a less careful binder, have been cut away. 15s 1886 189 IMPERIAL GALLERY of BRITISH ART; with 48 full-page steel engravings after the most famous painters of the ENGLISH SCHOOL, large atlas 4to. hf. morocco (binding broken), n. d. 190 JACOB (Lt.-Col.
