Transitional Gothic Script

Late 13th century. Missal (Missale Bellovacense). France. Note by Otto Ege: 

This manuscript, a special gift to a church in the city of Beauvais, was written for Robert de Hangest, a canon, about 1285 A.D. At that time, Beauvais was one of the most important art centers in all Europe. The ornament in this leaf shows the first flowering of Gothic interest in nature. The formal hieratic treatment is here giving way to graceful naturalism. The ivy branch has put forth its first leaves in the history of ornament. The writing, likewise, is departing from its prevous rigid character and displays an ornamental pliancy which harmonizes with the decorative initials. 

Floral in red and blue with a drawing of face looking upward at the bottom of the column on the left on the recto. 

Verso has musical notes in both columns, ruled in red and notes in black. Initial "J" in the form of an animal same face as in recto but this time it is facing the left column from the right column. Using red and blue ink with a bit of gold. Big U initial (not inhabited) measuring at 22 mm x 30 mm. Decorated with spirals in blue, red, and gold. 

Red lettering on five words in recto and  three words on verso
