This is a really beautiful Book of Hours written by a contemporary and friend of Dante and with some of the earliest depictions of Dante's works. The guy I think was also friends with Giotto who painted the frescos in Padua.. Far too early in my view and not sure it would have been known about, but it's beautiful..

Couple of Voynich like ideas... There's a lady standing on what look like nebuly to me, and there's people in tubs...  But either way it's simply a beautiful manuscript..
