...genuit iudea maria[m].../...ant. Gaude maria. Psalmus... (Hours of the Virgin, Matins, 1st Nocturn)
This leaf is from a Book of Hours known as the St. Alexis Hours. This leaf has decorated margins with elements such as acanthus leaves, rinceaux, trees, and berries. Each side also contains a roundel in the margin. The recto is an image of a seated man in a red robe and crown touching the hand of a kneeling man in blue robes holding a staff. There is indecisipherable white writing atop both characters, one perhaps containing the letters "...andre". The verso's image contains one man (possibly the man from the rectos' roundel) in a red shirt wearing a blue hat. He is standing in front of a road among greenery and is holding the same staff from the other roundel. This roundel also contains an illegible white label. This leaf appeared at Philip Pirages Rare Books, shelfmark ST14277 and its current location is unknown.
