Notes

• Initial D with St. Clement I
   
• This initial begins the Introit for the feast of St. Clement (Nov. 23), 'Dicit dominus sermones mie ...' (Thus says the Lord: My words ...). This initial has been attributed to the Sienese illuminator Pellegrino di Mariano Rossini, who was active in the last half of the fifteenth century. Pellegrino was a younger contemporary of Sano di Pietro, whose influence can be seen in this initial. The border decoration is similar but inferior to several cuttings in the Free Library's collection attributed to Sano (see, for example, Lewis E M 22:2-4).
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with a decorated initial from a gradual. This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains the Communion for the feast of St. Nicholas (Dec. 6), though perhaps here used for a different saint as St. Nicholas falls after St. Clement in the calendar.
   
• This cutting can be dated to ca. 1470.
