MINIATURIST, English
(active around 1350)

Choir Psalter

c. 1350
Manuscript (Ms. Liturg. 198)
Bodleian Library, Oxford

This mid-fourteenth-century Psalter was made in England, perhaps for use in the north-east. The initial on folio 91v, shown here is for the Psalm Cantate domino (Sing to the Lord). It shows a priest and two acolytes singing from a manuscript on a lectern in a fantastic Gothic church as a musician plays a viol in the border.
