7 The Office of the Virgin, Penitential Psalms, Collection of Prayers, Office of the Dead, Kalendar and Perpetual Almanack. This inestimable Manuscript contains One Hundred Ninety-two leaves of the finest Vellum, Seven Inches Three Quarters, by Five Inches, written in the Roman Character, most of them bordered in an exquisite manner with various historical subjects-Animals, Birds, Insects, Flowers, Buildings, &c. and enrich'd with Seventy-one incomparable designs done from the principal passages of the Old and New Testament, and a Frontispiece the Portrait in Large of Cosmo de Medicis, and on the opposite page the arms of the Family (which appear in several other parts) for whom this incomparable Manuscript was executed. It was begun in the year 1410, and as appears by the Title, was accomplished in 26 Years. Notwithstanding the early period in whioh this Artist lived every composition is in the elegant Taste of the Prince of the Italian school; nothing Gothic, but the chastest design and most brilliant colouring; and as fresh and beautiful as the time it came from his pencil: we will not hesitate to pronounce it one of the finest and most perfect Manuscript ever executed. This beautiful work was purchased from the Collection of the Celebrated Mr. Bernard of London, for £320.
