Late medieval layout for liturgical MSS

MS fragment; vellum; 178 x 133  mm

                                                                    [recto]   

A fragment of an illuminated Psalter written in Gothic textura quadrata script. With a 4-line historiated initial ‘D’, alternating gold and blue initials, decorative line-filler in red and blue of a   dragon (verso), a grotesque, a man in a church, etc. in the same hand as the scribe who did the versals. These delightful marginal drawings may suggest that the Psalter was made for a woman.
