The splendid Prayer Book of Lorenzo de' #Medici (1449–1492) was a wedding present to his eldest daughter Lucrezia (1470–1553), who married the Florentine banker Jacopo Salviati (1461–1533). The gilded silver binding with finely worked enamel directly reveals to the beholder what a precious #manuscript this is. Hidden within it are 556 pages with ten-full page #miniatures, twelve small calendar medallions, and seven historiated initials. The miniaturist favored by the Medici, Francesco Roselli (1455–1513), was responsible for painting them. The text originates from the scribe Antonio Sinibaldi (1443-before 1528).
