Ms 572 f.32v is a folio from a 15th-century illuminated manuscript that features a historiated initial 'S' depicting the stoning of St. Stephen. This artwork is attributed to Don Simone Camaldolese, an Italian monk and manuscript illuminator from the Camaldolese monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence. The folio is part of a larger collection, which is known for its exquisite and detailed illuminations that blend Gothic and Renaissance artistic elements.

The historiated initial on folio 32v serves as an ornate capital letter at the beginning of a text passage, a common practice in medieval manuscripts to mark important sections and to add visual interest. The initial 'S' is intricately designed, incorporating the martyrdom of St. Stephen, Christianity's first martyr, as described in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament. The scene vividly portrays St. Stephen's death by stoning, a pivotal moment in early Christian history that underscores the theme of sacrifice and faith.

Don Simone Camaldolese's work is characterized by his use of vibrant colors, gold leaf, and a keen attention to detail, which brings the depicted narrative to life. The folio is a testament to the skill and religious devotion of its creator and provides insight into the religious and artistic culture of Renaissance Italy. Today, Ms 572 f.32v is not only a valuable piece of religious art but also an important artifact for the study of manuscript illumination and the history of bookmaking during the period.
