Vespasian Psalter

[3] It was written in Latin on vellum, using a southern English Uncial script with Rustic Capital rubrics.

The beginning letters of the other Psalms have smaller "minor" initials which are decorated or zoomorphic and are done in what is called the "antenna" style.

The only surviving full-page miniature shows King David with his court musicians, and is now folio 30 verso.

[5] Sir Robert Cotton pasted a cutting from the Breviary of Margaret of York on folio 160 verso.

Eadui Basan, who made additions to the manuscript, was a monk at Christ Church, Canterbury during the early 11th century.

[7] The volume was the first in the Vespasian shelf section in the part of the library indexed by the names from a set of busts of the Roman Emperors on top of the shelves.
