Notes

• Initial E with David and the Just exalting God
   
• This initial begins Psalm 32, 'Exultate iusti in domino ...' (Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just), which was read at Matins on Monday in the first week of Advent. This psalm of praise asks the just to 'give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.' The scene in the initials acts out the words of the psalm, with David acting as mediator between God and the group of Benedictines and other figures, many of whom hold instruments, including what appears to be a triangle.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial from a ferial psalter. This side of the leaf, the true verso, continues Psalm 38, which begins on the front.
