Moving onto the pages of history, Ms 626 fol. 174v reveals St. John the Baptist from the Missal of Jean de Lannoy, meticulously crafted on vellum. Delving deeper into this enchanting realm, we encounter Missal 515 f. 72v - an intricate zoomorphic foliate border that transports us back to a time before 1449. Here, a fantastical bird perches above a mysterious cloaked figure, evoking curiosity and wonder. As we turn another page in this captivating missal journey, our eyes are drawn to Missal 515 f. 9r - where a fantastical bird hunts down an elusive butterfly amidst decorative borders that breathe life into each stroke. Stepping away from religious depictions for a moment, "The Jews Passover" chromolitho reminds us of diverse narratives interwoven within these sacred texts – stories that transcend boundaries and speak to humanity's shared experiences. Returning to religious imagery with awe-inspiring artistry, Missal 515 f. 72v presents Christ Appearing to Mary through an intricately illustrated historiated initial 'L'. The divine connection is palpable as colors dance across vellum pages. Ms 412 offers us another glimpse into Parisian craftsmanship circa 1475 – delicate vellum pages adorned with scenes from the ancient missal tradition; here we witness priests offering their souls to God the Father in humble devotion. A Calendar of Birds by Pauline Baynes takes flight within our imagination as avian wonders grace its colorful illustrations – reminding us of nature's beauty intertwined with spiritual contemplation. Zoomorphic foliage comes alive once more in Missal 515 f.
