Description:
Decoration: Italian, fifteenth century, probably Roman, illuminated initials 'F' and 'I' supplied in gold and outlined in black, incorporated into three-sided white vine-stem border with blue, green, and maroon decoration, outlined in blue, within gold lines outlined in black, terminating in bunched finials extending into the right-hand margin with black pen-work rays and gold dots. In the lower margin a green wreath bordered in gold, containing a (later?) painted coat of arms of he Fieger (sometimes spelt Füeger, Füger) family of Hall, Tyrol: white uprooted tree trunk sprouting two trefoil leaves on a red shield. This perhaps was Benedikt Fieger (d. 1490), who was in Rome on behalf of Herzog Sigismund von Tirol and on other matters in 1469 and 1471. In 1471 he was a deacon in the cathedral at Brixen; in 1478 he joined the Fraternity of the Holy Ghost in Rome.
