Initial D with the Trinity This initial begins Psalm 109, 'Dixit dominus domino meo sede a dextris meis' (The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand). This psalm was read at Vespers on Sunday. This verse was understood to refer to the Trinity, which explains the iconography. This cutting can be dated to ca. 1380. This image shows the reverse of a leaf from a choir psalter. This side of the leaf, the true verso, contains the antiphons following Psalm 109, which begins on the front. Script: Gothic bookhand
