In recent times discoveries of previously unknown medieval
manuscripts of great beauty or historic importance have become rare
events, which appear all the more remarkable if the discovery is
made in a totally unexpected place. Felix Heinzer's identification
of a psalter of the Bohun family in the archives of the active
Cistercian convent of Lichtenthal in the German state of Baden is
one such find. The Bohun family rose to prominence in England in
the course of the thirteenth century. Hereditary Constables of
England, by 1361 the Bohuns, as earls of Hereford, Essex and
Northampton, were holders of vast estates across the breadth of the
land. They became one of the most important patrons of 14th-century
manuscript production in England. The present study of this
fully-illustrated psalter reproduces every illumination in
full-color and original size, with many black and white details and
comparative illustrations. A detailed description of each
illuminated folio is included. The author also provides a complete
historical background of the Bohun family.
