Initial U with the Calling of Saints Andrew and Peter This initial begins the antiphon at first Vespers for the feast of St. Andrew (Nov. 30), 'Unus ex duobus qui secuti sunt dominu[m] erat andreas fratri symonis petri ...' (One of two brothers who had followed the Lord was Andrew the brother of Simon Peter). This image shows the reverse of a leaf from an antiphonary with an historiated initial. This side of the leaf, the true verso, continues the liturgy for Matins for the feast of St. Andrew. This manuscript can be dated to ca. 1325. Script: Gothic bookhand
