Missal
A missal, a liturgical service book of the Mass, made around 1389 by the Master of the Brussels Initials, a manuscript illuminator, probably for a church or private devotional use in Italy or northern Europe. Its pictures are small painted initials and historiated miniatures with gold leaf, blue and red grounds, and decorative pen-flourished borders, offering a designer models for medieval framing devices, gilded ornament, and compact figure scenes within a page.
