About this work

This page looks like an old book spread open, showing lines of Latin text in black ink. The letters are tall and pointy, packed neatly into rows. Some letters at the start of lines are bigger and decorated with red, blue, and gold swirls and dots. The red lines between words might be music notes—this was likely used in church. The page feels worn, like it’s been handled a lot over time. Check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see more pages like this up close.
