Trinity and Coronation of the Virgin (Psalm 109), in the Huth Psalter
View through Europeana Collections
Named for its donor, the Huth Psalter reveals its
origin by listing in its calendar of feasts and litany Saints Hugh,
Wilfrid, and John of Beverly: all associated with Lincoln or York.
Medieval psalters could be used publicly in the liturgy or
privately as a prayerbook, with decoration, calendar and added
prayers tailored for the use of an individual or community. Unusual
features of its illuminations give vivid impressions of
contemporary concerns and devotional practices.Psalm 109's opening
initial is unusual in pairing the enthroned Trinity (top) with a
conventional Coronation of the Virgin. To either side stand
personifications of Judaism (Synagoga) and the Church (Ecclesia).
Blindfolded Synagoga's crown falls from her bowed head while
Ecclesia peers at the coronation, emphasising the hard-line
attitude of that age in which Christianity's vision of the divine
relegated Judaism.
