EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Hunterian Psalter, dating back to the 12th century. The artwork, created by an English School artist, measures 29.2x19.1 cm and is housed in the Glasgow University Library in Scotland. The image depicts the month of May, with a beautifully detailed illustration of various elements associated with this time of year. In the center stands a mounted figure dressed in a pink robe, red hose, and pointed boots. He holds a majestic hawk on his right hand as he emerges from an open castle gate. The horse he rides is dapple grey with a brown mane while adorned with gilt saddle and silver stirrups. Intriguingly, flying along the margin is a wild duck - presumably his prey for falconry purposes - adding further depth to this scene. Adjacent to this illustration lies another fascinating element representing Gemini - depicted as twin figures wearing pink tunics reaching their knees paired with red hose and black pointed boots laced white. They hold silver-headed javelins and support between them a round-topped gold shield adorned with blue bosses against a blue background. This remarkable piece also features other sections such as Kalendarivm (calendar), Psalterivm (psalms), Litania (litany), Preces Qvaedam (certain prayers), all meticulously written by one skilled hand. The Hunterian Psalter has been previously known as York Psalter due to its origins in that region but now resides within the esteemed collection at Glasgow University Library.
