Have you seen this ancient geegaw?
Okay, so it isn’t in the 1482 Annunciation by Hans Memling, as previously announced. But it is cool, and it is worth a look: the medieval Itty-Bitty Book Light. —If you should happen to see it before March, drop Janice Safran a line, would you?

First, thanks for the link.I've not heard back from Sifran in response to my query, so I did the work myself. The detail is from the the Annunciation of 1465-75 produced by the workshop of Rogier van der Weyden in Brussels, Belgium. I've added the proper links, and fixed the text.
Lisa--
I just came across this by, well, tripping over it. I m afraid i don t recall ever having seen a message from you... I would certainly have responded, and with much joy. You re great to have been so helpful to Heather and myself.
May you never lack for praise or chocolate!!!!
