Notes

• Initial C with Christ as the Man of Sorrows
   
• This initial begins the Introit for the feast of Corpus Christi, 'Cibauit eos ex adipe frumenti ...' (Full ears of wheat are the nourishment he gives them). It was illuminated by the Sienese painter and illuminator Niccolò di Ser Sozzo, who was active from ca. 1348, when he first appears in documents, to his death in 1363.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial from a gradual. This side of the leaf, the true verso, continues the Introit for the feast of Corpus Christi, which begins on the front.
   
• This cutting can be dated to before 1363.
