Representation of "The Last Supper" in a 16th century manuscript.
Manuscript title: Book of Hours
Manuscript summary: A book of hours following the liturgical usage of Rome, richly illustrated with full-page miniatures, borders, and initials, written in cursive script (bastarda) which can be dated to about 1500, with texts in Latin, French, and Flemish. The style of the miniatures, especially that of the naturalistic borders with flowers and insects, but also with complete scenes, seems typical of the Ghent-Bruges school.
Origin: Flanders, probably Brügge (Belguim)
Period: 16th century
