Nicholas of Lyra, Interpretation of the Psalter, Part 1 (Ps. 1-74)
A 1450 manuscript of Nicholas of Lyra's Interpretation of the Psalter, part one, held by the e-codices virtual manuscript library of Switzerland, written in German-speaking Europe for readers of Latin scripture commentary. Its single page shows a hand-lettered gothic text block with an illuminated initial containing a small figure in a landscape, framed by painted vine-like border scrolls and small coloured flowers in gold and blue, offering a designer a model of medieval decorative initial lettering and border ornament.
