| Keywords: photo border This psalter was produced ca. 1250-75 in a region of northeastern France that was at the time considered Flanders. The manuscript seems to have been transported to Italy, on the evidence of textual additions associated with the Italian Cistercians, ownership by a person affiliated with the Italian Cistercian foundation, and ownership by Bartolomeus dala Vale. The manuscript is incomplete as well as misbound, containing Psalms, canticles, and the Cistercian Ordinary for ferial Office. There are seven extant historiated initials and occasional penwork creatures. Rebound in the nineteenth century, dark olive green velvet binding; modern cast metal ring at the middle fore-edge of the upper cover; cast fastening-plate centered at the fore-edge of the lower cover. All manuscript images and descriptions were created and are provided through Preservation and Access grants awarded to the Walters Art Museum by the National Endowment for the Humanities, 2008-2014.
