Initial D with St. Paul
0 references
This initial may begin the hymn for Matins of the Commemoration of St. Paul the Apostle (June 30), 'Doctor egregie Paule mores instrue ...' (Paul, Teacher without equal, fashion our lives aright), although there is not enough textual evidence to confirm this identification. Paleographic evidence indicates that Lewis E M 28:16 and 17 may have come from the same volume or series of choir books...
