Initial C with a choir of Franciscan friars This initial begins Psalm 97, 'Cantate Domino canticum novum ...' (Sing to the Lord a new song), marking one of the eight liturgical divisions for the weekly recitation of the Psalms. This psalm is typically illustrated by a group of monks singing. Here, the monks are Franciscan friars, identified by the color of their robes and the visible first of three knots that symbolize the Order's vows... This image shows the reverse of a cutting with an historiated initial from a service book. Script: Rotunda
