The antiphonary is a treasure trove of artistic and religious significance. RAIMUNDI, Vicente (16th century) created a masterpiece that has stood the test of time. The very large historiated initial S, showcasing Saint Stephen, is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. Coloured inks and gold leaf on vellum bring this piece to life. Another remarkable example is Ms. 278A: Historiated initial cut from an antiphoner on vellum. This stunning artwork captures the essence of Saint Thomas Aquinas teaching six men from an open book. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it truly captivating. DS 1171 fol. 9 presents a Nativity scene through a historiated initial P, taken from a gradual and antiphon on vellum. It beautifully depicts the birth of Christ with precision and grace. The Master of the Vitae Imperatorum's miniature painting titled "The Trinity" showcases their talent in illuminating choirbooks on vellum with paint and burnished gold around 1440 AD. Other notable works include "Presentation of Christ in the temple, " painted onto vellum around 1340 AD; "Saints Philip and James, " featuring a large historiated initial on antiphonal vellum dating back to approximately 1400 AD; "Saints Peter and Paul, " also adorned with an impressive historiated initial on antiphonal vellum from the same period; as well as "Christ as the Light of the World, " which boasts another magnificent large historiated initial on antiphonal vellum circa 1400 AD. Even cutting pieces like Gradual's historical initials from an antiphonary in Milan showcase incredible artistry preserved over centuries. Lastly, we have a copy page from Beaupre Antiphonal dating back to the 19th century, where watercolor paints were used on paper to recreate the beauty of the original.
