Byzantijns: Melisende Psalter, c 1139
The Melisende Psalter (London, British Library, MS Egerton 1139) is an illuminated manuscript commissioned around 1135 in the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, probably by King Fulk for his wife Queen Melisende. It is the most notable example Crusader art, which resulted from a merging of the artistic styles of Roman Catholic Europe and the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire.
Seven scribes and illuminators, working in the scriptorium built by the crusaders in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, were involved in the creation of the psalter. It measures 21.6 centimetres by 14 centimetres, the size of a psalter for personal rather than liturgical use.
