Notes

• Initial B with David as a musician
   
• This initial begins Psalm 1, 'Beatus uir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum ...' (Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly), which was read at Matins on Sundays. The illumination has been attributed to Franco dei Russi, a Mantuan artist who spent a good portion of his career in Ferrara. Among his patrons was Borso d'Este, the half-brother of Ercole I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial from a ferial psalter. This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains the part of the hymn, 'Nocte surgentes vigilemus omnes ...,' sung at Matins on Sundays.
   
• This leaf can be dated to ca. 1453 - 1482.
