(148 leaves) : |bparchment, ill. 520 2 Ms. Psalter, written and illuminated in England, possibly Oxford, in the 1260s, and probably commissioned for use of a chaplain by a woman depicted in the initial to the first canticle of Isaiah, f. 123v. Folio 146, lines 1-9, was written ca. 1300 and ff. 146, lines 13-25, 146v-148, are mid-14th century. 500 Female owner in the 14th century suggested by gender in prayers added on ff. 147v-148. Beauchamp family members' obituaries added to the Calendar in the 15th century: in one hand, 1) Johanna FitzAlan (2.13, commemorative), d. November 14, 1435; wife of William Beauchamp, Lord Abergavenny; in another hand, as follows, 2) Isabel Despenser (8.24, commemorative), d. December 27, 1439; m., 1st, Richard Beauchamp, son of Johanna Beauchamp, and 4th Earl of Worcester, in 1411; m., 2nd, Richard Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick, in 1423; buried, as was her 1st husband in 1422, in Tewkesbury Abbey; 3) Cecily Neville (9.29), d. September 29, 1450; m., 1st, Henry Beauchamp, 14th Earl of Warwick in 1434; m., 2nd, John Tiptoft, Earl of Worcester in 1446; buried, as was her 1st husband, in Tewkesbury Abbey; 4) John Beauchamp (10.19), d.

(Egbert, pp. 377, 380-381, and The Complete Peerage, I, pp. 24-30; II, p. 47; III.2, pp. 378-382, 383-384). The Beauchamp family was a prominent patron of the Benedictine Abbey of Tewkesbury, as some members were buried there. The obit of Richard Cheltenham, abbot of the Benedictine Abbey of Tewkesbury (1481-1509), added to the Calendar (10.7, on f. 5v) in the 16th century, perhaps at the request of the erstwhile owner who wished to memorialize him. In view of the connections with Tewkesbury Abbey, MS Garrett 34 has often been called the Tewkesbury Psalter. 500 Layout: Parchment; ff. 7-145v, single column of 23 lines, ruled 7 mm. apart; f. 146, single column of 24 lines, ruled 7 mm. apart; ff. 146-148, single column of 24-25 lines (ff. 146-147v) and of 30 lines (f. 148), ruled 7 mm. apart; 270 x 180 (170 x 120-5, calendar, 180 x 130) mm. 500 Decoration: a) Painting: (ff. 1-145v), ca. 1260: Painted decoration and illustrations by an English illuminator, possibly in Oxford. 9 historiated initials for psalms 1, 26, 38, [51 and 52 removed], 68, 80, 97, 101, and 109 of the ten-partite division (ff. 7, 24v, 36v, 57, 71v, 84, 85v, 97v) and for the first canticle of Isaiah 12 (f. 123v); all but two as 6-line initials with display incipits in gold capitals within blocks of pink and blue infillings embellished with white rinceaux.
