Abstract

The English Psalter Lansdowne 383 in the British Museum is a typical Romanesque work familiar to manuscript students through citation and reproduction.1 It possesses unusual iconographic features, while having an obvious relation in forms to the Bury St. Edmund, St. Albans, and Canterbury groups.2 Yet its distinct stylistic character, as well as its calendar, forbids attribution to these schools. It is therefore of great interest to find miniatures in the same style as Lansdowne 383 in two other manuscripts. These are a book of Sermons of St. John Chrysostom in the Hereford Cathedral Library (MS O.v.xi)3 and a Boethius manuscript in the Bodleian Library at Oxford (Auct. MS F. vi.5).
