<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TT Antique, post: 222223, member: 2653&quot;]thanks as usual morotherstuff!..I was just curious about one print (from one of the calendar months) and went off on a tangent to research the broader work as I had the impression access to the codix in Venice was very restricted. You are right it had been watercolour copied in the 19th century and repros&nbsp; have been made but probably not in medivieal times..</p><p>But strangely enough the vintage color print of the Grimani Breviary (month of July) that I acquired ..after I removed it&nbsp; from its nice vintage frame has a text print behind it either in Portuguese or Spanish.</p><p>Apparently it is&nbsp; related to a Spanish politician, diplomat and writer during the spanish civil war (and afterwards) by the name Jose Antonio Gimenez Arnau. I am not sure whether the text was part of his writings..the theme appears to be the spanish civil war politics and entitled AGOSTO ..and the front of the paper is the July Grimani Brevieary color print.The color print is this one from wiki and I have attached the&nbsp; photo of the back text.What do you make of it?Thanks!</p><p><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:15th-century_unknown_painters_-_Grimani_Breviary_-_The_Month_of_July_-_WGA15781.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:15th-century_unknown_painters_-_Grimani_Breviary_-_The_Month_of_July_-_WGA15781.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:15th-century_unknown_painters_-_Grimani_Breviary_-_The_Month_of_July_-_WGA15781.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>TTA</p><p>[ATTACH=full]65930[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
