It is argued that 'claricia' who is depicted swinging from the initial 'Q'(uid) at the beginning of Psalm 51, is the illuminator.

You know him for
/Against the Christians/,
/Homeric Questions/,
/On the Cave of the Nymphs/,
the /Isagoge/,
and /On Not Eating Animals/.
More from Porphyry coming soon! Like the Pearlsong, this volume will be available as an open-access PDF and a beautiful hard copy.

This week I finished typesetting the next 4T book, Fabien Muller on Porphyry's Letter to Anebo & Philosophy from Oracles: Greek & Latin fragments, Eng. translations, glossaries, and short commentary.

Stay tuned if you're interested in gods and daemons, theurgy, and oracles in dactylic hexameter!
