About the book

The Luttrell Psalter is a richly illuminated fourteenth-century English manuscript containing the Book of Psalms and other devotional texts. Commissioned by Sir Geoffrey Luttrell of Lincolnshire, it is famous for its extraordinary marginal imagery: scenes of farming and everyday life appear alongside saints, musicians, grotesques and fantastic creatures. The manuscript is both a major work of medieval art and a vivid visual record of life and imagination in medieval England.
