Notes

• This initial begins an unidentified chant probably for the feast of St. Gregory the Great (d. 604). The scene portrays a miracle from the life of St. Gregory, who while performing Mass, witnessed the stigmatized Christ on the altar.
   
• Lewis E M 43:13-14 appear to be from the same manuscript. The initials in these cuttings were illuminated by an artist within the circle of the Master of Petrarchs Triumphs, so-called from his work in a grand illuminated French manuscript of Petrarchs Triumphs done for Louis XII (r. 1499-1515). The work of this master and his followers is closely related to the workshop of Jean Pichore, an illuminator active in Paris at the beginning of the sixteenth century.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting with an historiated initial from a gradual.
