Glossed psalter leaf, between 1150 and 1175.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/426904695

Leaf from a glossed psalter probably written in France. The page is ruled in lead with 6 vertical bounding lines marking the left and right limits of the outer marginal gloss column (53 mm), the central text column (70 mm), and the inner marginal gloss column (25 mm). The horizontal lines are not ruled across the three columns, but individually and independently for each column. The Bible text (Psalm 77.59-72) is written in 16 lines, with lines in between for interlinear glosses. The marginal glosses are written at about half the size of the Bible text and are largely passages from Augustine's Enarrationes in Psalmos, somewhat condensed. Each verse begins with an initial in red.

1 item (1 leaf) : parchment ; 303 x 198 (204 x 68, Bible text; 211 x 160, glosses) mm.
