Our Curator Rare Books and Fine Printing received an enquiry about this fifteenth-century Psalter. Since it is out of its box, we thought we’d share it with the world!
Decorated initial ‘B’ at the beginning of Psalm 1, ‘Beatus vir’ (Blessed is the man).
The complete manuscript is available online here.
Psalter, folio 7r (194 x 129mm), England (possibly London), fifteenth century, Alexander Turnbull Library, MSR-01.
