0 references
This initial begins the first response of the first nocturn of Matins for the feast of St. John the Baptist (June 24), 'Fuit homo missus a deo cui nomen erat Iohannes ...' (There was a man, sent by God, whose name was John). A piece of the initial containing an image of the Lamb of God, which is an attribute of the saint, has been cut out.
