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 August, with intricate details brought to life through pen and ink, as well as tempera on vellum. In this scene, we are transported to a vibrant agricultural setting. A white-bearded man dressed in a pink girt-up garment and red and white hose stands alongside a woman wearing an orange bodice and skirt with green hose. Together, they skillfully cut corn using silver sickles against a serene blue background adorned with tufts of greenery. A wheat sheaf completes the picturesque landscape. Adjacent to this depiction lies another fascinating element: the sign of Virgo featuring the B. V. M. , or Blessed Virgin Mary. She is elegantly portrayed in her iconic blue sleeved mantle embellished with enormous hanging crimson and white cuffs. Clutching a palm branch in her right hand, she exudes grace amidst a crimson backdrop adorned with delicate white floral tracery. The Hunterian Psalter is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout its pages. This particular print highlights just one example of its beauty among many others found within its covers. Preserved at Glasgow University Library in Scotland, this precious manuscript continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
