Sherborne Missal

Both of them, alongside Bruyning and his superior the Bishop of Salisbury Richard Mitford, are depicted and named in numerous miniatures.

[6] The marginal decorations contain numerous high-quality drawings of British birds, including cormorants, gannets, moorhens, storks, European robins, chaffinches and mallards.

Saint Wulfsige is also depicted, welcoming Benedictine monks into the chapel, marking the 998 move of the bishop's see from Sherborne to Salisbury via Old Sarum.

Bruyning was most likely motivated by a desire to enhance Sherborne's reputation in a bid to attain funds for construction.

[3] In 1998 the Sherborne Missal was bought by the British Library from Ralph Percy, 12th Duke of Northumberland.
