'Psalterium Dauid cum orationibus singulis Psalmis accommodatis', a Psalter for liturgical use, written in the first half of the 16th century in Italy
'Psalterium Dauid cum orationibus singulis Psalmis accommodatis', a Psalter for liturgical use, followed at fol. 193v by Canticles and (fol. 208v) prayers.
The illuminations are chiefly capitals but occasionally borders introducing several badges (double yoke ?, three ostrich feathers, full face of a lion, staff raguly, gem-ring, also 'N' and the mottos 'Semper' and (fol. 4) 'Suaue', also (ibid.) the Medici arms:--or, five torteaux, 2, 2 and 1, between the upper two a hurt).
A modern label on the back has 'Exemplar papre Leonis X', but there is nothing to support the conjecture, except the Medici arms.
