This imposing Florentine initial, conceived in the style of a monumental wall painting, narrates the Adoration of the newborn Jesus the Redeemer by his parents and the shepherds who have approached the scene The authorship of this fragment cut from a antiphonary, as that of the Sienese Camaldolese brother Don Simone Camaldolese, remains undisputed since it was first published by Boskovit (1975). Various fragments scattered amongst the most famous museums relate to further dispersed cimelia by this illuminator, whose fame reached beyond Florence to the court of Visconti and Gonzaga
