Glossed Psalter
Psalm 118:64–72
F-02ip
General Information
Praegothica with some Beneventan features (e.g., the form of the quia abbreviation); a second (possibly later) hand has done the interlinear glosses (per consultation with Erik Kwakkel, June 2022).
Leaf from a late twelfth-century glossed psalter. Commentary leans heavily on Peter Lombard; interlinear notes match those in the Glossa ordinaria.
Original Condition
Current Condition
Hair follicles visible on the recto and some use-related staining at leaf’s edge (suggesting a well-thumbed original book). Though inner edge appears partially trimmed, indentations show where the leaf was once attached to the binding supports of a codex. Ink is dark brown; verso shows ink faded to light brown (typical of oak gall ink). Dry point ruling of columns and pricking visible on both sides.
