Manuscript Pages
On Display Here
The art gallery of the R. L.
Elfstrom company has a very
rare collection of manuscript
pages on display. The majority
of them are Latin text and all
of them have illuminations.
That is, every page on display
is decorated with a picture or
design. The oldest manuscript
in the group dates back to 1122
A. D. and the most recent was
made in 1760 A. D. Ail of the
manuscripts are painted and
written by hand. Many of the
monks or writers spent a life
time working on the writing
and decoration of one manu
script, a page of which is con
tained on this exhibition.
There are several full page il
luminations in red, gold, blue
and green, etc., of such scenes
as the Flight into Egypt, Ascent
of the Virgin, Adoration of the
Magii, and illustrations from
Persian poetry. The majority of
the manuscripts are in excellent
condition. Some of the illumina
tions are from Breviaries, Books
of Hours, Missals and the Koran.
The collection belongs to Otto
Ege, a nationally known collec
tor of ancient manuscripts who
lives in Cleveland, Ohio. For
many years the entire collection
was displayed in the Cleveland
museum, and it has been shown
