Subject

Catholic Church - Psalter

Description

Illuminated manuscript with psalms to be recited over the course of a week. There are large gilt initials and an illuminated portrait of King David. This Psalter highlights the quality of manuscript illumination which is conservative. Evidently created for a nun in a local convent, the manuscript bears a colophon indicating that it was completed in Nuremberg on February 3, 1496.
