Notes

• Initial U with a Virgin Martyr
   
• This initial probably begins the first response for the first nocturn of Matins of the Common of Virgins, 'Veni, Sponsa Christi, accipe coronam ...' (Come, Spouse of Christ, receive the crown), although there is not enough textual evidence to confirm this identification. 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 is from the same choir book or set of choir books as Lewis E M 26:2.
   
• This cutting can be dated to ca. 1360-80.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting with an historiated initial from an antiphonary.
