Bought before 1863 when it was transferred from the Art Museum.\nA duplicate number MS.983 was assigned to this object in error and was subsequently cancelled.\n\nSeven fragments, whose date and place of acquisition are unknown, arrived at the South Kensington Museum by an early date; four (2868, 3045, 3074 and 3087) appear in a register recording the internal transfer from the Art Museum to the Library on 6 December 1863 of a group of 241 illuminations, and a further three are recorded in a similar transfer in 1874 (431, 432 and 434). The remaining thirteen cuttings (D.217 to 228-1906) were acquired on 22 June 1906 from Bernard Quaritch for a total cost of £60. Two of them depicting prophets were lost during the Second World War (D.220-1906 and D.223-1906).\n\nCuttings from the same set of graduals in the V&amp;A collection: 431, 432, 434, 2868, 3045, 3074, 3087, D.217-1906, D.218-1906, D.219-1906, D.221-1906, D.222-1906, D.224-1906, D.225-1906, D.226-1906, D.227-1906,D.228-1906, D.229-1906. \n\nThis piece is part of a series of over fifty identified cuttings from two different graduals now distributed through various collections. Related cuttings are in: New York, Pierpont Morgan Library; Stockholm, National Museum; Berlin, Kupferstichkabinett; Paris, Musée Marmottan; Padua, Museo Civico; London, The British Library.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Decorated initial M, from a Gradual for the Camaldolese monastery of San Michele a Murano, Italy (Florence), 1392-1399.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"<u>Catalogue of illuminated manuscripts : Part II, Miniatures, leaves, and cuttings</u>, by S.C.
