Leaf Excised from a Psalter: Flight Into Egypt, c. 1260. Flanders, Liège(), 13th century. Tempera and burnished gold on vellum; sheet: 11.6 x 8.3 cm (4 9/16 x 3 1/4 in.). Traditional locations within manuscript psalters were designated by decorated initials or, as is the case here, full-page miniatures. These locations marked the major divisions of the psalms as used in the daily office. The extraordinary quality of these miniatures suggests they once decorated a deluxe psalter made for a wealthy or aristocratic patron, possibly a cleric.
