Resumen de Il salterio di Arbe e le sue miniature di Giovanni di Antonio da Bologna
The Arbe Psalter and its illumination by Giovanni di Antonio from Bologna.
The article focuses on a fifteenth-century Psalter, which was kept in the Franciscan Convent of St. Euphemia on the island of Rab in Croatia until 1986 when it was stolen and destroyed. Based on existing reproductions and meagre descriptions in the scholarly literature, the author attemps to reconstruct the structure of the destroyed codex and the illuminations which belonged to it. He draws attention to the fact that one folio has been preserved in a private collection in Bologna. As the scholarship has already established, the initials of this Psalter were illuminated by Giovanni di Antonio da Bologna.
