Diurnal

Ulrich Schreier · 1485 · 1 picture

A Diurnal, a daily prayer book, made around 1485 and attributed to Ulrich Schreier, a manuscript held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The single picture is a painted marginal vignette in the border, showing a grey monkey perched on a white shield beside a dark creature and curling pink and green acanthus scrolls, offering a designer a compact model of medieval border decoration with humorous animal motifs.
