Description
English: Leo I, Sermones (Venice: Lucas Dominici F., Venetus, 7 Aug. 1482), leaf a4r. qRInc LEO Serm 1482.
The decoration here extends into the inner margin with acanthus leaves and gold bezants (small circular ornaments). Planning for the decoration was carried out before the book went through the printing press as the printer needed to know where and how much space to leave.
