From the "St. Albans Psalter", created at St. Abans Abbey essentially by Geoffrey de Gorham (or Gorron), Abbot of St. Albans (1119-46). Psalms 78:1: In the centre of the initial is an eagle on a pole. David stands on the left, addressing an assembly of twelve people. The words and phrases in this psalm refer to Deuteronomy 31:19- 32:11. Here God instructed Moses to remind the twelve tribes of Israel about the law by singing a canticle.
