About the book

The Winchester Psalter is a twelfth-century English manuscript celebrated for its remarkable cycle of full-page miniatures. Its images present biblical history, the life of Christ and visions of the afterlife with dramatic colour and narrative energy. The miniature cycle is one of the outstanding achievements of Romanesque art in England and an important source for medieval religious imagination and visual storytelling.
