Notes

• Initial L
   
• This initial begins the first response of the first nocturn of Matins for the feast of Mary Magdalene (July 22), 'Letetur omnes seculum in solemnitate sancte Mariae ...' (Let all the ages rejoice in the holy Mary with solemnity). The style of this initial is reminiscent of Italian initial decoration, especially in the northern regions. Certain elements in the execution of the initial suggest, however, that the artist was not Italian but perhaps Spanish or Portuguese. Artists and scribes in the Iberian Peninsula were heavily influenced by the luxury choir books that came out of Italy in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. This influence can be seen in the Italianate forms common in Iberian decoration.
