Grosse Bastarde.

A manuscript page displaying calligraphic examples of the "Grosse Bastarde" hand. The top section contains a decorative uppercase alphabet (A-M on the first line, N-Z on the second). Below this, the title "Grosse Bastarde." is written in a larger script. A highly ornamental initial letter "B" begins a paragraph of French text written in the specified hand. To the left of this text is a decorative calligraphic flourish. The bottom of the page features a lowercase alphabet including various letter forms, ligatures, and abbreviations.

Drinking and eating temperately is the
health of the body and of the soul, and just
as gold and silver are tested
by fire, similarly, foods
testify how much the person
is removed from the fear of God.
