Robert de Lindesey, Abbot of Peterborough (1214-1222), is probably the abbot depicted within the initial for Psalm 101, which begins ‘O Lord, hear my prayer’.
He owned another Psalter illuminated by the same main artist (London, Society of Antiquaries, MS 59). It is possible, however, that the Peterborough Psalter was commissioned by his successor, Alexander of Holderness, Abbot of Peterborough (1222-1226).
