note (text)
Although the text on the reverse, the true recto, has been erased, the iconography of this miniature suggests that this leaf originally came from a book of hours, where it preceded Lauds of the Hours of the Virgin. This leaf and other leaves from this manuscript, also in the Free Library (Lewis E M 11:5-10b) belonged to the same manuscript.

Visitation

The text has been erased, but some of it is still visible.
