EXCLUSIVE: The Macclesfield Psalter
Updated on 25 July 2005
It's one of the rarest pieces of medieval English art ever discovered and now it's about to go on show.
The Macclesfield Psalter is a tiny book of psalms, written in Latin and lavishly illustrated.
very human form is depicted - from graceful figures to three headed monsters with hairy noses. Next week the 650-year-old book will be displayed in public for the first time - as part of an exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
