JTinMIJTinMI@fouroclockfarms.clubOct 14, 2026, 6:26 PM@overholt OK, that looks like a book of hours - but what are the dimensions? Smaller page size should mean it's thicker than a fuller-sized version. But the text is beautifully legible!
Also: Manuscript or incunabule?

@JTinMI Incunable, 1496, I think she said. I took it for a book of hours as well, but it isn't cataloged yet so I don't have the details.
Chris Hayeschris@nutmeg.socialOct 14, 2026, 6:45 PM@overholt incredible.
Oct 14, 2026, 6:53 PM@overholt 1. Gorgeous
2. Because of the image, this also seemed like it could be a terrible joke about proselytizing at work.
"Do you want to see something pretty?"
"Yes."
"OK HERE IS JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR"

Oct 14, 2026, 8:24 PM@overholt Oh my goodness, that is utterly beautiful.
Is it something like a psalter, do you know?

@clickhere I think it’s a book of hours, but it’s not cataloged yet so I’m not sure.
