Tekst uit het evangelie van Matteüs c. 1530

This is a page from a manuscript, a bound book written by hand, of the "Tekst uit het evangelie van Matteüs" (text from the Gospel of Matthew) by Doen Pietersz., created circa 1530. The manuscript page contains a portion of the text, written in a gothic script typical of the period, and measures 160 mm in height by 100 mm in width. The use of black ink on a parchment page is a common feature in medieval and renaissance manuscripts. This artwork provides insight into the styles of writing and bookmaking practices in the early 16th century, and offers a glimpse into the cultural importance of scripture during this period.
