Notes

• Initial H
   
• These initials belong to a group of cuttings in the Free Library from the same choir book or at least the same set of choir books. These are: Lewis E M 22:7-16, E M 22:18-21, E M 23:1-6, E M 25:1-3, and E M 76:29a. Several of these cuttings have been attributed to the Sienese illuminator Sano di Pietro, who was active in Siena in the 1460s and 1470s. Although there is scant textual evidence to determine the type of choir book from which these cuttings were taken, similarities in the style of decoration, the color palette, and dimensions in the height of the staves on the reverse allow them to be grouped together.
   
• These cuttings can be dated to ca. 1470.
