Description
Illuminated
Psalters
occur
as
early
as the
8th
century
, and from the
9th
to the
beginning
of the
14th
century
they
predominate
among
illuminated
manuscripts
.
About
1220
A.D.
,
portable
manuscript
volumes
supplanted
the
huge
tomes
favored
in the
preceding
century
. This
change
in
size
caused
the
creation
of a
more
angular
and
compact
script
. In
general
,
smaller
initial
letters
were
used
, and
writing
was
done
in
double
columns
. At this
time
the
pendant
tails
of the
initial
letters
are
rigid
or
only
slightly
wavy
, with a
few
leaves
springing
from the
ends
.
Later
, they
became
free
scrolls
, with
luxurious
foliage
, and were
extended
into
all
the
margins
. The
blue
and
lake
(orange-red)
color
scheme
with
accents
of
white
is
a
carry-over
from the
Westminister
tradition
which
prevailed
in the
previous
century
. The
solid
line-filling
ornaments
at the
ends
of the
verses
were a
new
feature
added
in the
second
half
of the
13th
century
.
Silver
and
alloys
of
gold
are
used
on this
leaf
.
