Notes

• Initial A with Christ in Majesty and Two Saints
   
• This initial begins the first response of the first nocturn of Matins for the first Sunday in Advent, 'Aspiciens a longe ...' (Long had I been watching). In this initial, Christ appears above two saints who look up at him expectantly. This non-biblical scene captures the spirit of the Advent season when Christians prepare for the celebrations of the historic birth of Christ as well as his Second Coming at the end of time.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting with a decorated initial from an antiphonary.
   
• Initial A with the Three Marys at the Tomb
   
• This initial begins the first response of the first nocturn of Matins for Easter Sunday, 'Angelus Domini descendit de caelo ...' (The angel of the Lord came down from heaven).
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting with an historiated initial from an antiphonary. This side, the true recto, shows a fragment of the invitatory of Matins for Easter Sunday.
   
• Lewis E M 47:21-22 are from the same manuscript.
   
• These cuttings can be dated to ca. 1325.
