This was my very first scroll! It was to be given out 12 January 2019 at 1001 Atlantian Nights: Atlantian Twelfth Night, but Lady Alexa was under the weather that day, so an addendum was made at the bottom, and I also fixed her name (oops) before giving it back to their Majesties for her to receive at Labors of Finn.

Missal

1471Manuscript (Ms. 2165)Biblioteca Trivulziana, Milanhttps://www.wga.hu/html_m/m/martinom/missal.html
"This Missal was made for Ercole I d'Este, elected Duke of Ferrara in 1471. The opulent manuscript has decoration on almost all its 426 leaves, executed by two artists in close collaboration. One has been identified as Martino da Modena, while the other was probably his father,
Giorgio d'Alemagna.The decoration on folio 9, shown here, is the work of Martino. The page is decorated with a wide border of stylised flowers set on a ground of gold filigree divided into compartments. In the circular medallions are shown the archangel Gabriel, God the Father, the Virgin, a putto seated in the Este diamond ring and a warrior in profile. In the lower border is a scene with numerous putti, those at the centre support the Este coat of arms. The historiated initial 'A' of the text shows David in penitence."
