Abstract
The miniatures of Gospel 227 of the Biblioteca Riccardiana
in Florence and Gospel Vat. lat. 42 of the Biblioteca
Apostolica Vaticana are re-examined . They were
considered by Angela Daneu Lattanzi to be among the
first works produced in the scriptorium of Messina during
the time of Archbishop Richard Palmer (1185-1192).
Although it is not possible to find confirmation of their
production in the scriptorium of Messina, even in light of
recent studies that emphasize the mobility of scribes and
miniaturists in Norman Sicily, the dating of the miniatures
to the 1180s still appears to be the most convincing.
