Psalter
A psalter is a medieval prayer book of psalms, made in about 1240 by an unknown illuminator, probably for devotional use by a lay or religious reader. Its pictures are gilded historiated initials and framed miniatures in saturated blue, red and green, with decorative foliage scrolls, and a designer might take their interlaced borders, gold grounds and compact figure groups as models for ornamental framing.
