Description
Lovely and well executed antiphonal sheet on sheepskin vellum. These pages were done by monks for hundreds of years and bound in song/prayer books. They were made this size so all the people in the chorus could see the words. The artistic stylings of the monk transcribing the work would show in elaborate letter designs. We don't know the exact age of this piece but we are saying 19th century to be safe as that is the newest this piece could be. Could very easily be 18th or 17th century.Dimensions 20 1/2" x 14"
