Description: | Although the script, decoration, and liturgical features all show that this little Psalter was made in Flanders in the mid 13th century, two inscriptions state that it belonged in the abbot's room at the Cistercian abbey at Pipewell, a few miles north of Kettering in Northamptonshire, in the 15th century.
The occupation of the month for March shows a man pollarding trees with an axe. Half-way down the page (12 March) is an entry for the feast of Pope Gregory, but the word 'pope' has been erased: a sure sign that the manuscript was in England during the Reformation. | 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 |
