This was done to satisfy collectors. This is a montage of cut-out decoration from a choirbook that came from the Sistine Chapel in Rome. It was made for Pope Clement VII (ruled 1523-34). The frame dates from the early 19th century. We know that the illuminator, Vincenzo Raimondi (the Frenchman, Vincent Raymond), was in Rome from the 1520s. He was made papal illuminator in 1549, and died in 1557. In 1549 Paul III called him 'our illuminator [<i>miniatorem</i>] for the Chapel and Sacristy, for life'.","physicalDescription":"This montage is made of 9 original cuttings from a 16th-century papal missal and 4 19th-century added pieces with inscriptions or blanks. \nBelow description from Eze 2010: \na.
