Title:
APOCALYPSE IN FRENCH
Description:
Prologue. Seint pol le apostle dit ke tuz i ceus
- severaument entendre e dit.
Text (Ie)o Iohan nostre frere . . . . . f. 2
With gloss interspersed.
Ends 55b: en cors e en alme saunz fin regner. Amen.
The decoration is copious, bold, stiff and rough: often comic. The
cycle of pictures must be classed as of the 'second family.' They
are not of uniform size. The largest extend across the text, but
many are confined in breadth to a column. Blue, pink, burnished
gold are the leading colours.
The flyleaves at the end are parts of four leaves of a xiiith cent. service book with music on four lined stave
with part of offices for SS. Edmund M., Martin and Brice.
