About the Item

IMPORTANT AND RARE LITURGICAL PSALTER, Spain, 16th Century (1550-1750) Psalterium iuxta Romanum (Liturgical Psalter according to the Roman Rite) Latin (with Spanish additions), illuminated manuscript on parchment, Spain, circa 1550-1575 123 ff., Roman liturgical script, various writing modules, brown and red ink (rubrics in red), lead pencil rule, tabs marking the main textual divisions of the psalter, framed initials in black ink, initials painted in red or blue on yellow watercolor backgrounds, sometimes with watercolored plant decoration, large initials (we count 67) 3 to 5 lines high introducing the major liturgical divisions, puzzle initials in blue and red ink with watercolored plant or floral motifs (flowers, trees), and various motifs such as a figure contemplating a flower. Contemporary monastic binding of the manuscript, Havana basana on wooden boards, decorated on the boards with geometric motifs composed of cold fillets, a central navel and brass spandrels, brass clasps, and a spine with four ribs and decorated with cold fillets. The lower spine cover is damaged; the boards are worn and the leather is cracked in places; the parchment inside is stained in places; the first leaf is reinforced with a strip of paper; some initials are rubbed off. Sheet size: 580 x 380 mm; binding size: 610 x 410 mm. The style and layout of this manuscript suggest that it originated in northern Spain. In any case, the presence at the end of the volume of a table of psalms, arranged alphabetically and preceded by the inscription: "Index of the psalms contained in this psalterium, arranged according to the alphabet," establishes a link with the Iberian world. This manuscript presents the text of the psalms with insertions of liturgical passages from the Proper of the Office (Ordinary of the Office) according to the liturgical seasons (Advent, Christmas, Septuagesima, Lent, Passion, and Easter), indicated by rubrics.
