Description:
|
Abbot Islip. Devotions, fifteenth century handwritten prayer book written in vellum, 13 lines to a page, in upright Gothic hand: with curious ornamentation. The binding is of dark brown leather over wooden boards: with remains of two metal
clasps. On each cover is a panel of gold tooling consisting of a frame of roll-ornament, angle-ornaments in the form of elaborated fleurs-de-lys, central panel with the arms of England and France quarterly (for Henry VII ?). The shield is put together in part at least out of stamps originally separate : for instance, its outline is composed of four curved
pieces of branch-ornament and two plain curved pieces back to back: and the pale or vertical dividing line is a rod with a fleur-de-lys at each end.
