Her identity has been the subject of much debate. Scholars have conjectured that she is Gertrud, Henry’s daughter, Clementia, his first wife, or Matilda, his second wife. Because the portrait bears no inscription, and because the facing page, which may have shown the lady’s patron saint, is missing, the question must remain open.Calendar, Liturgical Psalter, Canticles, Hymns, Creeds, Litany, Petitions, Collects, Minor Office of the DeadHerimannmonastery of Helmarshausen in Westphalia,Created for the use of a noble lady, probably a relative of Duke Henry the Lion (1129-1195); the manuscript's owner is pictured on f. 6v, and her identity has been the subject of much debate.

The manuscript is listed in 1864 as coming from the collection of Guglielmo Libri, who was notorious for having ornate bindings and inscriptions added to existing manuscripts, so it is likely the binding was created for him. It was listed as an authentic, fully medieval treasure binding in Libri's catalog. Because of the fragile nature of the binding, the book was not able to be opened, and the information regarding the interior in this catalog entry is derived from earlier images and notes.2516

Although the Psalter itself, along with its calendar, dates to the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, a number of texts and prayers were added in the mid thirteenth century. Most striking about the manuscript are its illuminations, which include a prefatory cycle, full-page miniatures, and historiated initials. While all are Romanesque in style, they vary greatly in quality and technique, and three or four different artists seem to have been at work. The Claricia Psalter takes its name from one of the initials, which depicts a young girl in secular dress swinging from the initial "Q," who has "Claricia" written around her head. It has been suggested that the image represents a novice artist who signed her work, but there are many other theories, and none are certain.Charter (fifteenth-century?) used as front pastedown, Litany (added in the fifteenth century), Petitions (added in the fifteenth century), Calendar, Psalter, Canticles, Magnificat (added in the mid-thirteenth century), Office of the Dead (added in the mid-thirteenth century), Prayers (added in the mid-thirteenth century), Meditation on the Annunciation (added in the mid-thirteenth century), Salve Regina (added in the mid-thirteenth century), Prayers (added in the mid-thirteenth century), Charter (back pastedown)Made for, and likely by, a group of Benedictine nuns at the Abbey of Saints Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg, Germany.Made for, and likely by, a group of Benedictine nuns at the Abbey of Saints Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg, Germany.
