SUMMARY:Medieval Lincolnshire
DESCRIPTION:Lynda Hotchkiss looks at the county from the viewpoint of the Luttrell Psalter. \nThis celebrated manuscript is one of the most striking to survive from the Middle Ages. Painted in rich colours embellished with gold and silver\, with vitality and sometimes bizarre inventiveness of decoration\, this manuscript is unlike virtually any other.\n \nThe Luttrell Psalter: Psalm 103. Lincolnshire\, c.1320-40 \nThe manuscript is named by modern scholars after its original patron\, whose picture appears in the book. Geoffrey Luttrell was lord of the manor at Irnham\, between Grantham and Spalding in Lincolnshire\, but he owned estates across England. The style of the illumination shows that Sir Geoffrey commissioned the Psalter some time between 1320 and 1340. \nWhat is special about the Luttrell Psalter? \nThe Luttrell Psalter was not the first to include scenes of contemporary rustic life\, but it is exceptional in their number and fascinating detail. Its lively and often humorous images provide a virtual ‘documentary’ of work and play during a year on an estate such as Sir Geoffrey’s. \nAs we turn the pages of the book\, we see corn being cut\, a woman feeding chickens\, food being cooked and eaten. There are wrestlers\, hawkers\, bear baiters\, dancers\, musicians\, throwing games\, a mock bishop with a dog that jumps through a hoop – and a wife beating her husband with her spinning rod.
