EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Psalter with Sarum use calendar, a remarkable piece of medieval art dating back to the 15th century. Created by an English hand, this psalter is known as the St Andrews Psalter and features a Sarum rite calendar along with Psalms 1-150. Measuring at 20.6x18.5 cm, this exquisite work of ink, paint, and gold on vellum can be found in The University of St. Andrews in Scotland, UK. The calendar within the psalter remains intact but lacks all Canticles except Confitebor from verse six onwards. What truly sets this psalter apart are its illuminated initials adorning various psalms such as 1,26,38,52,68,80,97 and109. These vibrant initials are beautifully painted in colors on decorated gold grounds. The borders surrounding the text feature intricate designs incorporating elements like flowers, men birds monkeys dragon griffins and other creatures rendered in gold and colors. With its rich religious symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship evident throughout each page's ornate decoration, this masterpiece offers a glimpse into the artistic beauty that thrived during medieval times. Its significance extends beyond mere aesthetic appeal; it also serves as a testament to Christian faith and devotion during that era. This stunning image captures not only the visual splendor of this ancient manuscript but also invites contemplation about how art has played an integral role in expressing spirituality throughout history.
