ANGLO-CATALAN PSALTER

This manuscript, Bibliotheque Nationale lat.8846, was started in Canterbury between 1180 and 1200. It is one of a series of Psalters based on the Utrecht Psalter, a Carolingian manuscript that was in the possession of Christ Church Canterbury in the 11th and 12th centuries. It was completed by a Catalan artist in 1340 - 50. This illustration, of Psalm 11, is by the earlier artist and shows an incredibly inventive narrative style.
