Luttre Psalter
It can be considered a one of a kind book from the 14th century that survives to this day. It portrays the life and times of this time period. It would be a considered source because it was commissioned during the 14th century by a wealthy landowner Geoffrey Luttrell and worked on by various artists also from that time period. The Luttrell Psalter was unique for that time because instead of being written about biblical values and ideas it focused on the contemporary rustic life of that time period. Vivid images and imaginative and fascinating detail give the readers a real picture of life during the 14th century. Images showed corn being cut in the fields, food being cooked, games being played and even animals having fun with their owners. It was a very different type of book for that time.
