Exhortation Against Avarice

Deutsche Grafik 1470–1480, hacia 1470/1475

This is a photograph of a medieval manuscript page. The image features a single, densely written page of text in an old script with decorative elements. The text is bordered on three sides by a simple red and black frame. In the upper-left corner, the text begins with a large, ornate initial letter, intricately designed with vivid colors of green, red, and gold. The texture of the paper is visible, with an aged, yellowish tone punctuated by signs of wear, particularly at the edges. The manuscript's calligraphy is uniform and well-preserved. The layout suggests it could be part of a religious or philosophical text.
