probably a few decades after the original work. Many miniatures have titles in Norman-French, in a different hand to the main text, probably added later in the 12th century. The original sequence of the miniatures is uncertain. Haney's analysis of the iconography of the cycle suggests a variety of sources and influences were involved. Some details can be found in Early Christian works such as the Cotton Genesis but not in works from later periods. Other details show awareness of Carolingian and Ottonian traditions, while much else continues Anglo-Saxon and English Romanesque iconography. Contents The manuscript contains: (fols 2r–39r) 38 full-page miniatures (fols 40r–45v) Calendar illustrated with Labours of the Months and Zodiac Signs (fols 46r–123v) Psalms 1–150, in parallel Latin and French versions, with decorated or historiated initials at the major divisions (fols 123v–132r) Canticles, Gloria, Lord's Prayer, and Creeds (fol 132r–v) Litany (fols 133v–134r) Fourteen collects (fols 134r–142v) Thirty-six prayers (fol 142v) A rubric introducing a text that is now missing from the volume Patron Several pieces of evidence suggest that the patron was Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester from 1129 to 1171: Feasts in the calendar suggest it was made for Winchester Two feasts in the calendar suggest a connection with Cluny Abbey; Henry of Blois had formerly been a monk of Cluny, The presence and absence of feasts in the calendar suggest that it was made between 1120 and 1173, or before 1161 according to Wormold and Haney, as the Calendar lacks the feast of Edward the Confessor, canonized in that year, One of the Latin prayers is addressed to St Swithun, patron saint of Winchester Cathedral, whose relics were in the cathedral; the prayer mentions "sanctis quorum corpora in hac iuxta te requiescunt aula" (saints whose bodies rest in this church next to you) Some pieces of evidence suggest instead that the manuscript was not made for Henry of Blois, and may instead have been made for a woman, although the personal Latin prayers use masculine forms: Most 12th-century psalters with series of full-page pictures were apparently made for women The Litany is not a normal litany of Winchester, but is closely related to the litany of Abingdon Abbey The litany has a number of female saints who would not be expected in a litany of Abingdon, three of whom are the main saints of the nunnery of Barking Abbey By about the middle
