Musical instruments in the Macclesfield Psalter

Jeremy Montagu

Jeremy Montagu, who re-created medieval percussion with Musica Reservata, and was from 1981 to 1995 curator of the Bate Collection in Oxford, is the author of many books and articles on musical instruments. jeremy.montagu{at}wadham.oxford.ac.uk

The article describes and discusses the musical instruments portrayed in the early 14th-century East Anglian Macclesfield Psalter, now in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and illustrates many of them. It suggests who the original patron of the psalter may have been, and makes comparisons with other psalters of similar origin and date.

Key Words: 14th-century trumpet • early 14th-century illuminations • bagpipe; East Anglian psalters • Gorleston Psalter • hunting horn • medieval fiddle • Macclesfield Psalter • pipe and tabor
