# Ormesby Psalter [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MINIATURIST, English]() - Date: 1301-1350 - Technique: Manuscript \(Ms. Douce 366\) ## Commentary Ormesby Psalter 14th century Manuscript \(Ms. Douce 366\) Bodleian Library, Oxford On this crowded page \(folio 72\) the high quality, irregular frame is remarkable. A larger D and a smaller T initial are related to the text: in the D initial the three temptations of Christ in the desert are depicted. Both the figurative initials and the decoration were made in the same workshop \(probably in Bury St Edmunds\) by two different miniaturists. The codex received its name from Robert Ormesby, a monk who dedicated the codex to the prior of a convent in Norwich. ## Related artworks - [Acts of the Abbots]() - [Alphonso Psalter]() - [Amesbury Psalter]() - [Anatomical figure]() - [Angels Turning the Spheres of the Universe]() - [Apocalypse]() - [Barberini Gospels]() - [Barberini Gospels]() - [Beda Venerabilis: The Life of St Cuthbert]() - [Benedictional of Archbishop Robert]() - [Bestiary and Lapidary \('the Rochester Bestiary'\)]() - [Bestiary and Lapidary \('the Rochester Bestiary'\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
