14th century Bifolium from the Rouse Manuscript Collection.
One bifolium from a commercially-produced manuscript of Guido de Baysio's Rosarium written and illuminated in Bologna toward the end of the thirteenth century. The bifolium witnesses again that commercial manuscript production was a complex process involving numerous specialists, among them scribes, illuminators, decorators, notators, and correctors, each coordinated and paid independently for their work by a contractor.
