Description

Psalter, Latin., Part of a single leaf from an Italian psalter, 190/394 x 265 mm (variable size, owing to its re-use as a binding material), text block: 195x93 mm, double column, of which 60 lines survive recto and only a few lines verso, in brown ink in a caroline script, two lombard initials painted in red, the headings 'cant. gr.' written in red, cropped and folded with resulting loss, [Italy], [11th century].

⁂ A fragment from a large-format dismembered Psalter, dated to the 11th century, probably produced in Italy. After it had been cut from its original manuscript, this fragment was used as a cover for a later and unknown text, as it is evident from the fold-lines and cuts on its surface. Two fold-lines running across the middle of the fragment show the possible dimensions of the spine of the volume that it covered, and on the verso of the leaf there are traces of a possible title inked on the spine of the later book or archival register ('Fabio [?]').
