and then now and again we find something remarkable - something like this. a single manuscript page from a french book of Hours - mid to late 15th century [around the time of the very first printed book]hand written on vellum 550 years ago - to express that this is a scarce survivor is a little bit of an understatement .. written in the reign of Henry VI -- source link
