Original early printed Latin leaf attributed to the works of Jean Gerson (1363–1429), the influential French theologian, scholar, and Chancellor of the University of Paris.
This leaf contains text from De canticorum originali ratione, a medieval treatise concerned with music, song, sound, and musical instruments. The text discusses instruments including the cithara, psaltery, lyre, tympanum, cymbals, organ, and related forms of instrumental music, making this an especially appealing leaf for collectors interested in the history of music and musicology.
Printed in two columns in Gothic type on laid paper, with the Roman numeral LXXVIII at the upper margin. The sheet measures approximately 8 x 12 inches.
Condition is consistent with great age, with scattered spotting, small wormholes, minor stains, and general toning. The printing remains dark and highly legible. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.
A striking original early-printing artifact well suited to collections focused on incunabula, medieval music, early typography, Latin texts, theology, or the history of musical instruments.
