Hall E: Anthem or Choir-Book room



Photo no. 1
These very large Choir Books are written with big lettering and were placed on the lectern so that they would be easily readable for the chorister monks. The books here displayed were miniated in Montecassino around 1516 and the illumination scenes (photo no.1) are by Florentine Boccardi brothers.
