Initial P with St. John the Baptist pointing to the Lamb of God This initial begins the Homily of St. Augustine for the feast of St. John the Baptist (Dec. 27), 'Post illum sacrosanctum natalis domine diem ...' (Apart from the most holy solemnity on the day of birth of the Lord), which was read during the second nocturn of Matins for his feast. This cutting can be dated to ca. 1430. This cutting shows the reverse of a cutting with an historiated initial from a sermon lectionary. Script: Gothic bookhand
