Missale insignis ecclesie Pictavensis.
This is a Latin missal printed in Paris around 1500 by Jean Higman for use in the church of Poitiers, a liturgical book for priests at mass. Its pages pair dense black-letter text with hand-painted historiated initials and a full-page enthronement image in gold, blue and red. The pictures show a crucifixion scene framed by a gilded border, a decorated red and blue initial, and an enthroned bearded God surrounded by angels, a design source for gilt frames, ornamental initials and rich medieval colour palettes.
