INITIALS 'M' AND 'E' on a leaf from an illuminated Gradual on vellum [Florence, final quarter 14th century] Two striking initials on a leaf from a Florentine choirbook painted at the end of the 14th century, possibly one of the great series produced for the Camoldolese monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli. 506 x 340mm. Initial 'M' opening the introit for the feast of Sts John and Paul, 'Multe tribulationes iustorum', continuing onto the verso with the initial 'E' opening the introit for the feast of St Pancras, 'Ecce oculi domini super timentes'. 8 lines of text and music on a 4-line stave, 2 penwork initials, rubrics in red, contemporary foliation 'CII', old foliation '99' in upper right margin (some rubbing and craquelure to the gold in the initials, some loss of pigment to the blue in the initial 'E', occasional ink erosion and fading, marginal staining). Mounted. Provenance : Les Enluminures, 2010. The restrained acanthus flourishes, generous use of gold, and bold palette of orange, blue and green against a paler pink are similar to initials attributed to the illuminator Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci (1339-1399), such as those held at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (Marlay cuttings It. 13A, 13.i and 13.ii. See also G. Freuler, Italian Miniatures , II, pp.576-83).
