[QUOTE="Dundun, post: 920364, member: 11702"]Dear all, Below is a page I acquired couple of year back in US. From the vendor, it's said to be a page from a Monastic Breviary, ca 1300. (original manuscript on vellum). He think it's probably from north Italy. Someone told me it's probably "book of hours", a type of popular religious book for ordinary people to pray on time daily. I am quite curious to know what type of language it is written, and if it's possible to decipher/translate. Some friends who know French can pick up a couple of words but not all. I appreciate any help/information given! thanks! [GALLERY=media, 5256]Book of Hour by Dundun posted Sep 8, 2019 at 10:31 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]
