Additional Title: Antiphonary
Language:
Latin
Folio Number: front 31:21
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Initial P with Sts. Peter and Paul
Notes: This initial begins the first antiphon of Lauds for the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul (June 29), "Petrus et Ioannes ascendebant in templum ..." (Peter and John were going up into the temple). The style of the initial is reminiscent of Italian initial decoration, especially in the northern regions. Certain elements in the execution of the initial suggest, however, that the artist was not Italian but perhaps Spanish or Portuguese. Artists and scribes in the Iberian Peninsula were heavily influenced by the luxury choir books that came out of Italy in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. This influence can be seen in the Italianate forms common in Iberian illumination.
