Described in relation to other East Anglian books of the period by Sydney C. Cockerell [Here a Map of the places in East Anglia named in the text] LONDON PRINTED AT THE CHISWICK PRESS 1907 THIS handsome volume, though primarily, as the title announces, a detailed description and history of the magnificent fourteenth century Manuscript belonging to Mr. Dyson Perrins, known as the Gorleston Psalter, is at the same time a carefully written monograph of the East Anglian school of miniature painting and ornamentation of manuscripts of the period. This school comprised the great monastic centres of Norwich, Ely, Ramsey, and Bury St. Edmunds, and must also be held to include Peterborough, though this was just outside the East Anglian boundary. There is little doubt that the Gorleston Psalter was written and illuminated by several artists of different style, for Roger Le Bigod, fifth Earl of Norfolk, and Marshal of England, who died in 1306. It then probably became the property of the Cathedral Priory of Norwich, and at the Reformation no doubt passed into secular ownership, for in the latter half of the sixteenth century it belonged to the Cornwallis family, and remained in their hands until 1823, when it was presented to the Hon. Richard Aldworth-Neville. The present owner acquired it from his descendant, the sixth Baron Braybrooke of Audley End. Other exceptionally fine Psalters, which are clearly of East Anglian origin are the St. Omer Psalter (belonging to Mr. Yates Thompson), the Douai Psalter (at Dousik the Ormesby Psalter (in the Bodleian Library), the Stow 12 and Arundel Psalters (in the British Museum), etc. With these Mr. Cockerell has made a somewhat minute comparison, and numerous references are also made to a large number of other manuscripts, many East Anglian. The book is therefore a special study of East Anglian miniature art, containing information which will not be found elsewhere, making it indispensable to all students of medieval illuminated manuscripts. The plates are distributed as follows:-I-XIV, Gorleston Psalter; XV, St. Omer Psalter; XVI-XVIII Douai Psalter; XIX, Ormesby Psalter; XX-XXI, Arundel Psalter.
