An antique I just purchased. It is a page from a handwritten bible from 1480 (yes, 541 years old). It is in latin, with ornate capitals, and amazingly the red is still very vibrant and the gold gilding on the Q very much in tact.
For those interested it is the Book of Hours psalms.
I decided to take some extremely high resolution scans before sealing it in some acrylic and prepare it to be framed. Will put it on my wall tomorrow.

@freakwater It varies a lot based on what it is a leaf of and the condition. 250$ to 1000$ for anything relatively common and several 100 years old. But can easily get into the millions if its something special
@freemo , nice!
The typography looks like a Rotunda Gothic.
@freemo
It may already be listed- but I was going to suggest volunteering this for https://librivox.org/ since it easily falls under 'public domain' (eg pre 1923 copyright).
@freemo How much does a single leaf cost?
