Missale Ambrosianum

Pachel, Leonhardt (1449-1512) (Milan) · 8 pictures

Missale Ambrosianum is a fifteenth-century printed Mass book for the Ambrosian rite, produced by Leonhardt Pachel in Milan for use in church liturgy. Its woodcut pictures are small framed saints and scenes set beside dense black-letter text, with red rubrics and initials; a designer might borrow the compact arched frames, the bold woodcut figures and the strong contrast between text blocks and images.
