The historiated initial L opens the response to the first nocturn of the fourth Sunday of fasting The first publication of this leaf by Filippo Todini (1989) established the authorship of this illuminator, active in Perugia, who, amongst other things had decorated various volumes of the series of choir books for the Cathedral of Perugia dedicated to San Lorenzo: and consequently became known as the Maestro dei Corali di San Lorenzo. The present leaf belongs to his later works, as do the sister pieces, which is why a date of circa 1330-35 is suggested.
