Catalogue Note
A fine example, probably dated around 1910, of the work of Alberto Sangorski (1862-1932) with numerous ornamental capitals and embellished borders. As noted within the colophon, the text is taken from "the Boke of St Albans emprynted at Westmestre by Wynkyn the Worde the yere of thyncarnacion of our Lorde MCCCClxxxxvi".
