APPELLATION Pontifical de Lanaleth
TITRE OUVRAGE Pontifical à l'usage de l'abbaye de Saint-Germans in Cornwall
DATATION entre 1031 et 1046
ORIGINE GEOGRAPHIQUE Angleterre; Sud
ORIGINE HISTORIQUE Wessex
POSSESSEUR Lyfing; Jumièges, abbaye Saint-Pierre
TYPOLOGIE DU DECOR miniature pleine page (2)
NOTES MANUSCRIT Pontifical de Lanaleth. 1046: mort de Lyfing, évêque de
Crediton, premier possesseur du ms. Dans la litanie des saints, une invocation
à saint Martial, placé à la suite des apôtres, repousse le terminus a quo
après 1031. Leroquais situe son origine à Saint-Germans in Cornwall:
incertain.
the other large illumination, particularly, betrays the "Anglo-Saxon"
stylistic origins
