Breviarium OFM (pars aestivalis)

1 picture

A Franciscan breviary (summer part) in Latin, a manuscript from a Swiss library's digital collection, likely made for friars' liturgical use in the late medieval period. The single picture is a hand-painted miniature: Christ enthroned with a cruciform halo and a sceptre-like staff, a kneeling figure in grey at left, and Latin inscriptions in red ink running across the sky. A designer might take its flat colour blocks, rough ochre and red-brown tones, and the bold red lettering set into the image.
