This leaf with the historiated initial S, was cut from a gradual as fol. XIX. Our thanks to Pia Pallladiino (2003) for the correct attribution of this finely painted leaf from a gradual, to the Perugian painter and miniaturist Vanni di Baldolo. Vanni di Baldolo, with his monumental, expressive figures and the lively but harmonious narrative style, is quite rightly considered one of the leading forces in the art of the illuminated manuscript in Perugia around 1340.
