Item Info

Item No: mcai320182
Title: Historiated initial A depicting the Agnus Dei
Additional Title: Antiphonary
Folio Number: reverse
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes:

While this is the reverse of a forged historiated initial, forgeries are frequently made on existing scraps of authentic medieval manuscripts.  This is probably cut from a 15th-century choir book, most likely an antiphonary, and most likely from Italy.
