Pretty medieval manuscript of the day is a leaf from a lovely fourteenth century book of hours in the collection of the Walters Museum. I love the neat scribal hand - so precise!

Pretty medieval manuscript of the day is another lovely illustration in grisaille, shades of grey, but highlighted with blues and gilding. Really lovely!
