Further reading: - Maria Grazia Ciardi Dupré Dal Poggetto, Codici Pisani Trecenteschi a Firenze, in: la Miniatura Italiana in età Romanica e Gotica, Florence 1979, pp. 501-528 (esp. 519-525). - Maria Grazia Ciardi Dupré Dal Poggetto, Rapporto testo-Immagine e Aspetti Iconografici nei Graduali Per Santa Maria del Carmine a Firenze, in: Rapporti Tra Codice, testo e Figurazione, Florence 1992, pp. 281-294. This initial E, of once splendid appearance, which unfortunately has been somewhat damaged with much rubbing and flaking of the gold, can be identified thanks to the motif of the Temptation of Christ and relates to the responsorium of the first nocturn of the first Sunday of fasting. The illuminator of this initial developed stylistically from the tradition of the Pisan illuminators of the first half of the 14th century. The illuminator in question has skilfully combined the highly expressive repertoire of figures and composition created by Buffalmacco and Traini, overlaid with the Gothic intricacies drawn from Sienese art, particularly in the tradition of Simone Martini.
