Initial S with the Presentation in the Temple This initial begins the Introit for the Mass of the feast of the Purification (Feb. 2), 'Suscepimus Deus misericordiam tuam in medio templi tui...' (Within thy temple, O God, we have sought and found thy merciful presence). This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial taken from an antiphonary. This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains Psalm 43:2, 'Deus auribus nostris audiuimus patres nostri adnuntiaverunt nobis,' followed by a versicle from the preceding liturgy. Script: Rotunda
