Germany, Bavaria (possibly Prufening or Augsburg), 13th century - Leaf from a Psalter- Nativity (verso) - 1951.447.b - Cleveland Museum of Art
Summary
The origins of this detached psalter leaf are unclear. Stylistically it relates to a small number of manuscripts produced at Prüfening Abbey near Regensburg and to other examples associated with scriptoria at Augsburg from the early 1200s. Though its immediate source remains obscure, it is certainly South German. Psalters were commonly used in monasteries and convents during the Middle Ages.
