Description
The Psalter of Ingeborg is an illuminated manuscript from the end of the 12th century, preserved in the Condé de Chantilly Museum, France. This work is one of the most significant surviving examples of early Gothic painting.
This psalter, or book of Psalms, was created around 1195 in northern France for Ingeborg of Denmark, queen of France and wife of King Philip II of France. The person who commissioned the Psalter is unknown, although it is believed that it could have been Etienne de Tournai or Eleanor de Vernandois, countess of Beaumont-sur-Oise.
The manuscript was a prayer book for private devotions and contains a calendar, the 150 psalms in Latin and other liturgical texts. In total 400 pages, of which 51 contain rich full-page miniatures and with a large profusion of gold leaf, as well as numerous and splendid initials. The text is written in early lowercase Gothic letters. It is also considered as the precursor of the Books of Hours.
