An important leaf from a liturgical manuscript in Latin on parchment, written on both sides in Gothic script with black ink, ruled with ink, and decorated with several filigree initials highlighted in red and blue. The text includes, in particular, passages from the Easter hymn *Aurora caelum purpurat*. Probably Italy, late 14th or 15th century. Later handwritten annotations in the margins. Stains, losses, tears, holes, creases, and wear; old traces of mounting and handling
