Laudario of Sant'Agnese (disassembled work; illuminators: Pacino di Bonaguida and the Master of the Domi...; about 1340)

Note: Manuscript that was illuminated by the artists Pacino di Bonaguida and the Master of the Dominican Effigies; represents the most beautifully executed and ambitiously designed illuminated manuscript from the period in Florence, for the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese. As one of the oldest lauda-singing confraternities in Florence, the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese, based at the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, celebrated this tradition by commissioning a luxury manuscript, known as a laudario, to compile the songs that were central to its members' daily lives. The manuscript that was disassembled in the early 19th century. Twenty-eight leaves and fragments survived, and all but two of these are now in 16 collections across Europe and the United States; only one leaf remains in Italy where the Laudario was created.
