Abstract

We get a hint of how the scribe indicated the location and nature of the flourished initials to the illuminator. At the top of the left column, the scribe penned a small guideltter "e" before the blank space he left for the flourished initial. The illuminator, however, seems to have overlooked the opening initial to this psalm (Psalm 54 [55]).

Decoration

Left column, space indicated for a flourished initial "E." Right column, flourished initial "M." Capitals opening sentences throughout the text.

Keywords

Manuscripts, Illumination of books and manuscripts, Bibles, Psalms (Music), Bible. Psalms, Old Testament
