I Generally DESPISE Purses
But for this 17th c. Italian confection with 14th or 15th c. recycled manuscript fragments inside, I'll make an exception.
Brilliant new acquisition at #BostonPublicLibrary!

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern.
