This pocket-sized Biblical Psalter was produced for Jernoul de Camphaing in the third quarter of the thirteenth century. Although now misbound and missing some text and two images, the manuscript still retains eight lively historiated initials in a style typical of the region of Flanders that is now considered northeastern France. A small group of suffrages was added during the fourteenth century to originally blank folios at the end of the manuscript, a of sign of another generation of use.
