This is a fascinating look at one of the world's most important and
renowned 12th-century manuscripts. The St. Albans Psalter is one of
the most important, famous, and puzzling books produced in
12th-century England. It was probably created between 1120 and 1140
at St. Albans Abbey. The manuscript's powerfully drawn figures and
saturated colours are distinct from those in previous Anglo-Saxon
painting and signal the arrival of the Romanesque style of
illumination in England. Although most 12th-century prayer books
were not illustrated, the St. Albans Psalter includes more than 40
full-page illuminations and over 200 historiated initials.
Decorated with gold and precious colours, the psalter offers a
display unparalleled by any other English manuscript to survive
from the time. In 2012, scholars conservators, and scientists at
the J. Paul Getty Musesum conducted a close examination of the
Psalter, gathering new evidence challenging several prevailing
assumptions about this richly illustrated manuscript.
