Notes

• Initial A with David in Prayer
   
• This initial begins the Introit for the first Sunday in Advent, 'Ad te levavi animam meam ... (I lift my soul to you). A small blue plaque in the left border contains the initials 'P.V.,' which have been identified as the initials of the Umbrian artist Pietro Vanucci, more famously known as Perugino (1445/50-1523). Scholars agree that the illumination was probably not executed by the great Renaissance master himself, but rather by an assistant working under his direction.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial from a gradual.
   
• This cutting can be dated to ca. 1513-1523.
