caption_attribution_description: English: Folio 202v of the en:Luttrell Psalter, with part of Psalm 108 in Latin (Psalm 109 according to the Masoretic numbering). The miniature in the lower half of the folio shows Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, mounted, assisted by his wife and daughter-in-law. All three are dressed in en:livery bearing his en:Coat of Arms, as is the horse. The women's clothing shows the Luttrell livery "impaled" with that of their own families (Sutton and Scrope). The Latin inscription immediately above the illustration reads Dns (= Dominus) Galfridus louterell me fieri fecit â€“ Lord Geoffrey Luttrell had me made â€“ indicating that he was the patron who commissioned the psalter.
context_page_description: The Luttrell Psalter is an illuminated psalter commissioned by Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, lord of the manor of Irnham in Lincolnshire, written and illustrated on parchment circa 1320–1340 in England by anonymous scribes and artists.
  Along with the psalms, the Luttrell Psalter contains a calendar, canticles, the Mass and an antiphon for the dead. The pages vary in their degree of illumination, but many are richly covered with both decorated text and marginal pictures of saints and Bible stories, and scenes of rural life. It is considered one of the richest sources for visual depictions of everyday rural life in medieval England, even though the last folio is now lost.
  The Psalter was acquired by the British Museum in 1929 for £31,500 from Mary Angela Noyes, wife of the poet Alfred Noyes, with the assistance of an interest-free loan from the American millionaire and art collector J. P. Morgan. It is now in the collection of the British Library in London, since the separation of the Library from the British Museum.
