Psalter-Hours of Brother Guimier, Initial, This unusually large Psalter-Hours was created in the last quarter of the thirteenth century in the Thérouanne region of Northeastern France, considered Flanders at the time. Illuminated throughout with elaborate decorated and historiated initials, the manuscript also contains a single full-page miniature of the martyrdom of Thomas Becket. An emphasis on Augustine in the calendar and litany suggest the manuscript's original patron may have been associated with an Augustinian foundation, possibly Saint-Augustin-lès-Thérouanne
