Item Info

Script: Rotunda
Language: Latin
Folio Number: front
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Initial R with the Annunciation
Notes: This initial possibly began the first Matins antiphon for the feast of the Annunciation to the Virgin, "Respondens angelus dixit ad Mariam ..." (The angel answering, said to Mary) in an antiphonary, a conclusion supported by the iconography of the initial. The illumination has been attributed to the Master of the Dominican Effigies, an anonymous artist active in Florence in the second quarter of the fourteenth century.
