Wynkyn de Worde Printed Leaf (i.e. a page with front and back) from "Legenda aurea/Legenda sanctorum ("The Golden Legend"), a popular series of biographies of the saints. Printed in Latin by Wynkyn de Worde in England (either Westminster or London), this leaf is about St. Columba. Nice black letter example in Latin.
Size, Date, Material and Region: Small Folio, measuring 11x7.5" (27.5x19.5cm) on rag paper (also called laid paper) dating from circa 1516 in England.
Condition: Overall a Near Fine example! Very bold and nice looking late renaissance example of a leaf (page) Some fraying to one edge but NO tearing to the text itself. The fraying is on the edge where the leaf had been bound into its book. Very bold and sharp.
