Initial A with the Resurrection The subject of this initial indicates that it most likely began the first response of the first nocturn of Matins for Easter Sunday, 'Angelus Domini descendit de celo...' (An angel of the Lord descended from heaven), in the liturgical manuscript from which it was removed. This is the reverse of a cutting from an antiphonary.
