Bifolium with the Decretals of Gratian 1290

This bifolium (two-page spread) is a beautifully illuminated manuscript, created in 1290 by Master Honore, featuring the Decretals of Gratian. The text is written in a clear, elegant script, with vibrant red and blue initials marking key sections. One page boasts a small, framed illustration depicting three figures, possibly representing a legal or religious scene. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to the artistry and knowledge of medieval scribes and illuminators.
