Original 13th Century Medieval Illuminated Psalter Leaf, Paris, France, c. 1200-25 IM-6711: A lovely original leaf from a medieval manuscript Psalter. 19 lines, written in Latin (on both sides) on animal parchment in small gothic bookhand with serrated line extenders in red, blue and burnished gold. One large three-line illuminated initial in burnished gold on burgundy and blue ground with and interior of delicate white tracery and orange flowers – extending into the margin. Both sides have ¼” bar borders with burnished gold initials on burgundy and blue with delicate white tracery. Numerous line-extenders in burnished gold, red and blue. This leaf measures 130 x 90 mm (5 1/8 x 3 1/2”). The illuminated “N” begins Psalm 61 (King James 62) complete: “Nonne…” (Shall not my soul be subject to God? For from him is my salvation. For he is my God and my savior: he is my protector, I shall be moved no more…). This leaf originates from Paris, France, c. 1200-25 – Very early and very fine. This is an original, not a reproduction, and its condition is excellent, as shown in the photos. There is a small “plugged” hole in the margin – the hole occurred when the vellum was originally stretched almost 800 years ago. The devout were expected to engage in a series of daily devotions, structured around the reading of the Psalms. In the Middle Ages all 150 psalms were to be recited each day, but as this proved impractical, the sequence was restructured to encompass a full week!This leaf comes with a Certificate of Authenticity .
