Early printed vellum leaf with text of gospel for Palm Sunday supplemented by a portion of another with text of gospel for Good Friday, possibly from a missal or lectionary

Upper board

 

Early printed vellum leaf supplemented on upper board by a portion of another, possibly from a missal or lectionary (text of full leaf: gospel for Palm Sunday; text of partial leaf: gospel for Good Friday).

 

Folio? (leaf size ca. 360 x 270 mm.) printed in double columns; 32 lines to a full column; area of text: ca. 267 x 180 mm.; col. width: 85 mm. Capital strokes supplied in red ms. Text of complete leaf: Matthew 26:28-26:47. Text of partial leaf: John 18:9-10 (left-hand column) and John 18:17-19 (right-hand column).

 

[Probably not a folio Bible -- those seem generally to have more lines per page. Almost certainly too big for a Book of Hours.]
