Notes

• Initial M with an unidentified male saint
   
• The precise moment in the liturgy that this initial begins remains to be determined. Similarities in the notation and height of the staves indicate, however, that it comes from the same manuscript as Lewis E M 26:14, which has been determined to be from an antiphonary. An artist active within the circle of Niccolò di Giacomo da Bologna (fl. ca. 1353- 1401), the most famous and prolific Bolognese illuminator working in the second half of the fourteenth century, illuminated this initial. Niccolò headed a large workshop that produced many choir books for churches and convents in and around Bologna.
   
• This cutting can be dated to ca. 1360-80.
