Bibliography. Also included is the CD issued by the publisher. From " Bibliographic Treasures and Medieval Maps": "This manuscript was illustrated in two different periods: 1 Canterbury c. 1200- 184 pages. It opens with what Leroquais called the Psalter prologue consisting of 8 extraordinary full-page miniatures and continues with 52 fascinating miniatures at the beginning of each Psalm. Most pages feature decorated initials. 2 Catalonia c. 1340: from page 185 onwards we find 46 miniatures framed by bright colours and divided into two or three bands each divided into two or three compartments.This section is characterised by the great iconographic freedom of the typological interpretation of both the Psalms and the New Testament prophecies. The architectural and plant details and motifs and the dress and colour range employed are very homogenous although certain stylistic variations indicate the participation of different artists from the same workshop. The part painted by Ferrer Bassa was in all likelihood commissioned by Peter the Ceremonious. Copy No. 335. Facsimile: Near Fine in the publisher's slipcase which has some small scratches and is stamped in gilt with the name Robert M. Wilson.
