## Commentary

Festetich Codex c. 1493 Manuscript \(M. Ny. 73\) National Széchényi Library, Budapest This page \(folio 54\) comes from a Prayer Book owned by a Hungarian noblewoman, Benigna Magyar, wife of Pál Kinizsi, general of King Matthias&#39;s army. The codex later was owned by the Festetich family whence its name is derived. The initial M is decorated by plants in a very naturalistic way. Other pages of the manuscript contain similar decoration.
