Short Psalter, produced in the west English Abbey of Malmesbury
Description
Short Psalter from the early 14th century, produced in the now
dissolved west English Abbey of Malmesbury, with calendar and All
Saints Litany, illustrated with artful initials and margin borders
composed of leaves, flowers, animals and human heads. Acquired by
the Cloister of St. Gall since 1500 at the latest, the volume was
"augmented" at this location by the addition of some recipes for
medical preparations.
