Document source description
This Flemish Psalter was produced in the Hainaut region between 1265 and 1275. It was altered for Dominican use through the addition of antiphons in the margins in the late fifteenth century, at which point it was also rebound in its current inscribed leather binding. It was later among the books collected by Johann Anton Ramboux (1790-1866), a German painter and museum curator. The manuscript, which is illuminated throughout with twelve large historiated and inhabited initials, is a strong example of a group of manuscripts produced in the last quarter of the thirteenth century that combined the artistic styles of Hainaut and Liège, other examples including Paris, B.N. Lat. 1077, Biblioteca apostolica vaticana, BBR Ms. IV-1066, and Princeton University Art Museum 57.189.
