Beatus page1911

1892 J. H. Middleton Illumin. MSS. p. viii The first letter B of the beginning of the Psalms (Beatus vir etc.) is in this and some other illuminated Psalters..of such size and elaboration that it occupies most of the first page.]

1911 J. A. Herbert Illum. MSS. x. 180 The Beatus vir page is of an unusual and amusing type. The ‘B’, made of narrow entwined ribbons on a gold field, forms a small and rather insignificant foundation; but round about it..are eight gold medallions containing delightful figures of animal musicians.

1926 E. G. Millar Eng. Illumin. MSS. of X to XIII Cent. 91 David harping, and Beatus page; the medallions at bottom and top of the stem of the B contain respectively David slaying Goliath, and bringing Goliath's head to Saul.

1954 M. Rickert Painting in Brit.: Middle Ages iv. 80 The identification of the Edmund artist with the illuminator of the Albani Beatus initial seems to be confirmed by a comparison..with the very lively single combat scene above the B on the same Beatus page of the Psalter.

1954 M. Rickert Painting in Brit.: Middle Ages iv. 98 A full-page Beatus and eight large initials to the psalms.
