Source Description
This Psalter was created in northeast France, a region considered Flanders at the time, during the third quarter of the thirteenth century. Little is known of its early provenance, although its series of historiated initials has been likened to those created in the "Mathurin" and "Wenceslas" ateliers of Paris. Two different litanies for the Use of Troyes were added in the sixteenth century, suggesting it was owned in that region by that time.
