EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Hunterian Psalter, a remarkable manuscript dating back to the 12th century. Created by an unknown English artist, this exquisite piece measures 29.2x19.1 cm and is housed in the Glasgow University Library in Scotland. The focal point of this illustration is a full-page illumination featuring medallions representing angels at each corner. The initial letter "B" steals the spotlight with its intricate twisted pattern adorned with nude figures and grotesque imagery. Meanwhile, the remaining capital letters "[EATVS UIR]" are gilded on a background of Venetian red, speckled with white flecks that may symbolize red granite or porphyry. The Hunterian Psalter encompasses various sections such as Kalendarivm, Psalterivm, Litania, and Preces Qvaedam. Previously known as the York Psalter, it contains beautifully written text by one hand along with thirteen full-page pictures and other illuminations that introduce each Psalm. This print captures not only the religious significance but also highlights elements of medieval artistry including Gothic influences seen in interlacing scrolls and elaborate designs. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Christian liturgy through its meticulous craftsmanship and historical context.
