Tiberius Psalter

The Tiberius cycle depicts the lives of David and Christ, linking them typologically.

[6] The manuscript is incomplete and was damaged in the Cotton Library fire of 1731, removing the top corners of each of the first few pages.

It was rebound in 1894, with the folios mounted individually into a book with a larger page size.

After initial material, there are 24 pages with drawings, 5 illustrating the life of David and 11 that of Christ.

[8] There is a large initial and illuminated border with Winchester style acanthus foliage at the beginning of the main sections of the book, such as the start of Psalm 1 (f. 31r).
