Leaf from a calendar — the months January and February — from a
liturgical manuscript (Psalter? breviary?). The calendar was
inserted into a cornice resembling arcades. For the month of
January, the figure of St. Peter with his keys is depicted at
right, while a medallion at the top shows an activity typical for
this month: a man warming himself by a fire. For February, there is
St. Matthias and in the medallion at the top a man trimming a tree
in order to obtain wood. Signs of a central fold reveal that the
leaf had been used as a cover, probably for a book.
