An early-14th-century manuscript that is a supreme masterpiece of Gothic book art: more than 800 miniatures, historiated initials and bas-de-page scenes! Regardless of which page you turn to in the Queen Mary Psalter<\/em>, you will immediately be immersed in a fantasy-filled visual world. It is almost miraculous that a single artist has created this overwhelming abundance of images, but every element of the book\u2019s decoration appears to be from a single hand and displays the same high level of artistic quality. For the first time, you can now experience the full magnificence of this royal psalter in your own home \u2013 page by page and image by image, in the form of a faithful facsimile edition. <\/p>\n

A Royal Psalter<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Queen Mary Psalter<\/em>, probably made in London, is one of the most valuable manuscripts in the collection of the British Library. The extent, the wealth of decoration and the consistently high artistic quality of the more than 800 illustrations leave no doubt that the patron came from the closest circle of the English royal family. The production is dated to the period 1310-1320, the reign of King Edward II and his wife Isabella of France. Was the original patron another member of the royal family who presented the Psalter to them as a gift or was it perhaps intended for a royal child? The first documented owner of the Psalter is the English Queen Mary I Tudor (r. 1553-1558), whose name the Psalter bears today. <\/p>\n

A Single Brilliant Illuminator<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

It is hard to believe that the Queen Mary Psalter<\/em> is the work of a single illuminator. Miniatures, drawings, initials – everything is of one piece and of a quality that outshines all other English and French Gothic book illumination. The illuminator is only known by his name of convenience “the Queen Mary Master”. He stands out as a singular personality whose technical skill and imagination enabled him to evolve a personal style out of multifarious sources. His figure style is an exquisite new interpretation and refinement of the art which had already been established in England. His role in English art can be compared with that of Giotto for his followers in Italy, and that of Jean Pucelle in Paris, in exactly the same historical period. <\/p>\n

Stunningly Diverse<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

With its abundance of images, the Queen Mary Psalter<\/em> is a true picture Bible. It begins with a cycle of 223 illustrations of the Old Testament in the finest of hand-coloured pen drawings. Over 100 miniatures in bright colours and radiant gold depict the life, miracles and passion of Jesus in unusual iconographies. The empty space at the bottom of each page \u2013 known by the term \u201cbas-de-page\u201d \u2013 presents the Middle Ages in all their diversity in 464 small visual narratives: the animal world of the bestiary, knights in tournaments and in battle, scenes of deer and rabbit hunting as well as falconry, court life, drolleries and mythological creatures \u2013 the fantasy of the Queen Mary Master knew no bounds.<\/p>\n

Folio 233v shows the triad of miniature, historiated initial and bas-de-page scene typical of the Queen Mary Psalter<\/em>. The Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday takes place against a radiant gold background. A very carefully designed blue-red ornamental frame encloses the miniature, the intense colours still shining as if they had just been freshly painted. Christ on the donkey with her colt takes up almost the entire miniature space. His light coat of delicate shades of pink and light green over a garment of shell gold is striking. His companions, on the other hand, are wrapped in brightly coloured robes. The two disciples visually counterbalance the city gate of Jerusalem, which can hardly contain the crowd. <\/p>\n

As a sign of reverence, one spreads a bright blue robe before the donkey\u2019s hooves. Another has climbed into the tree to cut palm branches. In doing so, he bends the crown of the tree down so that it fits under the frame of the miniature. The historiated initial D(ixit) contains a representation of the Trinity. Even more clearly than in the opaque colour painting, the Queen Mary Master\u2019s high skill in drawing is shown in the graphic bas-de-page depictions. Here St Stephen is preaching to three listeners. The folds of the vestments are drawn with a sure stroke, the subtle colouring reinforces the three-dimensional impression of the harmoniously proportioned figures.<\/p>\n

A Facsimile of a National Treasure<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

A manuscript on the level of a national treasure is accessible only under the most severe restrictions. Years of negotiation were needed before a contract could be signed with the officials responsible for the work at the British Library. At the beginning of the facsimile process, every page of the Queen Mary Psalter was photographed on site at the British Library. Two lithographers then spent months working on the proofs for the reproduction of the luminous colours, the gleaming gold and the patina.

Sparkling Gold<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Many of the gold backgrounds are decorated with punching or chiselling, and individual proofs were also produced for these. Gleaming gold leaf and finely shimmering brushed gold were captured, with their various nuances, in separate gold proofs and reproduced in separate runs through the printing machine; sometimes it is minuscule passages of gold in chequered backgrounds that mysteriously sparkle. All the leaves are reworked by hand so that the gold sparkles as authentically as possible on the slightly wavy leaves.

Fine Leather, Embossed with Gold<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

A dark-red leather binding featuring a spine richly embossed in gold adorns the facsimile volume. Of the velvet binding from Queen Mary\u2019s time, only the book covers remain and these are in such poor condition that, in consultation with the British Library, only the gilt and punched corner pieces and engraved fittings for clasp parts with the emblems of the House of Tudor – lion, fleur-de-lis, portcullis and dragon – are reproduced in the facsimile edition. The bookbinder binds the quires, which are sewn by hand to form the book block, into this robe.

In order to do justice to the rich imagery of the Queen Mary Psalter<\/em>, a facsimile set of a special kind is being published to accompany the edition. The set contains a linen-bound facsimile album in the format 18.3 x 28.6 cm with three original facsimile bifolia featuring a total of 12 pages. They show the events surrounding Noah\u2019s Ark (fol. 6-7), the twelve-year-old Jesus disputing with the Doctors (fol. 150-151) and various pictorial scenes from the Entombment to the doubting Thomas (fol. 280-281). A foretaste of the exciting contributions with the latest research results in the commentary volume is given in the 40-page accompanying booklet, in which the specialists Nigel Morgan and Lynda Dennison have also written a contribution for the first time. <\/p>\n
