Beaupre Antiphonary, Vol. 1, Initial 'A' with St. Benedict's miraculous repair of sieve broken by his nurse, Illuminated in Hainaut ca. 1280 and completed in 1290, this collection of richly illuminated Cistercian manuscripts is a rare example of those being produced in Flanders at the end of the thirteenth century. Eighteen extant large historiated initials, flourished and decorated initials, and an abundance of amusing drolleries facilitate a liturgical narrative within the text
