The Luttrell Psalter is an illuminated manuscript written and illustrated circa 1325-1335 by anonymous scribes and artists. It was commissioned by Sir Geoffrey Luttrell (died 1345), a wealthy English landowner who lived at Irnham, Lincolnshire. Along with the Psalms, the book contains luxuriously illuminated pictures of saints and bible stories, and of rural life; farming, cooking, doctoring, spouses squabbling, musicians playing, etceteras. It is considered to be the richest source for everyday rural life in England of the Middle Ages.
Also known as the ’Windmill psalter.’
The manuscript facsimile is in Latin; the commentary in English.
