Description: | The small size of this Psalter suggests that it was intended to be carried about by the owner, rather than kept on a shelf or reading-desk. It has a medieval ownership inscription which shows that one (or two?) of its earliest owners were nuns of Holy Cross Monastery, Wherwell, a few miles south-east of Andover.
The first page of the Psalms has an historiated Beatus initial depicting King David, the supposed author of the Psalms, playing his harp. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
