EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Hunterian Psalter, a remarkable manuscript dating back to the 12th century. The image depicts the month of October, with intricate details and vibrant colors brought to life through pen and ink, as well as tempera on vellum. In the center of the page, we see an elaborate letter "K" adorned with a fascinating scene. A nude figure can be observed treading grapes in a two-handled tub while enjoying a bunch of green grapes. Nearby, another figure presents a bottle to a woman who pours its contents into a large tun using a funnel. Adjacent to this lively depiction is the sign of Scorpio, represented by an intriguing creature resembling both a scorpion and Chinese dragon. Its dark grey and black body contrasts beautifully against pink wings and an eye-catching red-and-white head for its tail. The background is adorned with delicate black tracery set against lush green hues. The Hunterian Psalter contains various sections such as Kalendarivm (calendar), Psalterivm (psalms), Litania (litany), Preces Qvaedam (certain prayers). This masterpiece was previously known as York Psalter but has since been renamed after its current home at Glasgow University Library in Scotland. With meticulous craftsmanship evident throughout its pages, this extraordinary manuscript features thirteen full-page pictures along with gilt, historiated or illuminated initials that mark each Psalm's beginning. It serves as not only an artistic treasure but also provides valuable insights into medieval religious practices and beliefs.
