The Psalter Benaki 34.3. An unpublished illuminated manuscript from the family 2400

Abstract

REB 34 1976 France p. 281-323+8 pi. A. Cutler and Annemarie Weyl Carr, The Psalter Benaki 34.3. — The 162 illuminations in this manuscript are shown to be a combination of large-scale miniatures closely related to those of the « Family 2400 » and a much larger group of pictures seemingly invented for the illustration of every psalm. A date of ca. 1180-90 is suggested as is an origin in Cyprus or Jerusalem where Barnabas, the painter and scribe, must have had access to a « motif book » from which he assembled many of his pictures.
