Notes

• St. Laurence of Rome
   
• This miniature once formed the center of an initial, possibly an initial L beginning the first response of the first nocturn of Matins for the feast of St. Laurence (Aug. 10), 'Levita Laurentius bonum opus operatus est ...' (The deacon Laurence performed a pious act). He is identified here by his deacon's vestments as well as the grill on which he stands, a reference to his martyrdom. Laurence was grilled to death for his faith.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting from an historiated initial in a choir book.
