The Convent of San Marco Museum in Florence, Italy, presented an exhibition a few years ago on Fra Angelico's illuminated manuscripts. Although the exhibition closed some time ago there is, Deo gratias, its online counterpart continues. (Note: the exhibition also looked at the work of Zanobi Strozzi and a few other artists, but they are not my focus here.)
Fra Angelico's illuminated initials and miniatures are found in the Choral books (Corali) section of the exhibition. Four works are attributed to him and his assistants:
Graduale di San Domenico (39); Close-upsSalterio I (16); Close-ups
Salterio II (16); Close-ups
Missale II (33). Close-ups
In its iconography section, the exhibition also groups individual items according to theme. The Glossary looks interesting but appears to be useful primarily for the learning of Italian!
