Abstract

Lauds is associated with the Visitation, an event in the life of the Virgin when she journeyed to the house of her cousin, Elizabeth, and learned that Elizabeth could give birth to John the Baptist. The leaf contains the end of Psalm 62, and a foliate initial "D" opens Psalm 66. Psalm 66 was prayed to ensure the longevity of the church. There is no rubric calling for a division between the two Psalms; the scribe has merged Psalm 62 and 66 in order to treat them as one Psalm.

Decoration

Full border containing illuminated seedpods, flower buds, and loose vine work. A hybrid figure occupies the lower right margin. Illuminated initials.
