Context:

This leaf and the bifolium (double leaf), 1959.272, displayed nearby both derive from the same codex. The spiky ivy leaf tendrils which decorate the margins of these leaves is a particular Parisian convention just emerging at this time. The motif would dominate book illumination in Paris through the early fifteenth century. An additional Parisian hallmark is the alternating blue and red letters of the chapter headings.
