Psalterium cum glossa ordinaria; Cantica ad laudes et ferialia glossata

1150 · 7 pictures

A twelfth-century Latin psalter with a commentary gloss, written and decorated by monastic scribes around 1150 for liturgical study and prayer, now held in a Swiss manuscript collection. Its pictures are hand-painted initials and marginal creatures in red, blue and ochre, with interlaced knotwork, birds, and a painted scene of anointing that a designer could draw on for medieval-style lettering, border ornament and stylised animal motifs.
