Notes

• Border decorations with deer
   
• In this initial, which once marked the beginning of the instructions for consecrating the host, a priest kneels before an altar and elevates the Host, the culminating moment of the Mass.
   
• Initial G with a priest celebrating Mass
   
• These cuttings have been dated to ca. 1475.
   
• These cuttings may have come from a now lost missal that documents show was illuminated by Girolamo da Cremona (fl. 1451-1483) for Lucrezia de'Medici, a member of the powerful Medici family of Florence. The carefully observed treatments of space and naturalistic detail as well as the illusionistic vine-scroll border decoration dotted with small pearls are hallmarks of this important Renaissance artist.
