And in celebration of #WedsNeigh, please appreciate the Armenian tradition, apparently, of drawing Bucephalus, Alexander the Great's horse, as an amalgamation of fantastical animals.

📸 taken at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I guess 2018?

William #Byrd: Psalm 6, Lord in thy rage.
From Songs of Sundry Natures, 1589.

Eleanor Cramer: #soprano
Alison Kinder: bass #viol
Tamsin Lewis: tenor viol

#Psalm 6 is the first of the 7 penitential psalms, and is often found in books of hours accompanied by an image of the King David, kneeling in prayer with his #harp set aside.

Image: page from an #illuminatedmanuscript showing the penitent David, and the #Latin words of Psalm 6, Domine ne in furore.
From Aussem Hours, #16thCentury, W.437.45R

World History Encyclopedia - Illuminated Manuscripts

Illuminated manuscripts were hand-made books, usually on Christian scripture or practice, produced in Western Europe between c. 500-c. 1600. They are so called because of the use of gold and silver which illuminates the text and accompanying illustrations. Their production gradually died out after the invention of the printing press.
