Initial V This initial begins first antiphon for Lauds of the feast of St. John the Evangelist (Dec. 27), 'Valde honorandus est beatus Iohannes qui suprapectus Domini in cena recubuit' (Very honorable is the blessed John, for during supper he reclined on the breast of the Lord). Lewis E M 65:1-78 were once thought to have come from a single manuscript associated with the Cistercian monastery at Zwettl... These leaves can be dated to ca. 1430-1440. This image shows the reverse of a leaf with a decorated initial from an antiphonary. Script: Gothic bookhand
