EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Hunterian Psalter, an exquisite manuscript dating back to the 12th century. The artwork, titled "MS Hunter 229 f. 1r January" is a stunning example of pen and ink, as well as tempera on vellum. In this particular image, we are transported to the month of January. A man dressed in vibrant green attire sits at a lavish banquet table. With his right hand, he delicately removes the conical cover from a golden goblet held in his left hand. Behind him rise majestic castle turrets adorned with vanes and pennons. Adjacent to this scene lies another fascinating element within a gilt circular border: Aquarius pouring water into the world below. Clad in a green tunic and rolled-up blue trousers, Aquarius gracefully pours water from a bronze pitcher resting on his shoulder. The Hunterian Psalter contains various sections such as Kalendarivm (calendar), Psalterivm (psalms), Litania (litany), Preces Qvaedam (selected prayers). This remarkable manuscript was previously known as the York Psalter before being renamed after its current location at Glasgow University Library in Scotland. With meticulous craftsmanship evident throughout its pages, this extraordinary piece features thirteen full-page pictures along with numerous illuminated initials that commence each Psalm verse. Its beauty and historical significance make it an invaluable treasure preserved by the University of Glasgow Library.
