Commissioned in the late 14th century by Pope Boniface IX, this manuscript is a superb example of Late Gothic illumination. Its 11 full-page miniatures, illuminated initials and refined frames are splendidly decorated with vivid colors and gold leaf.
The pontifical, a traditional Western Christian liturgical book, contains both the texts and instructions for rites to be performed by the Pope or the bishops.
We have 1 facsimile edition of the manuscript "Pontifical of Boniface IX": Pontificale di Bonifacio IX facsimile edition, published by ArtCodex, 2007
