The Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese is a notable illuminated manuscript from the early 14th century, attributed to the Florentine artist Pacino di Bonaguida. It is a collection of laude, which are Italian devotional songs, created for the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese, a religious confraternity dedicated to Saint Agnes and associated with the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence. The manuscript is significant for its artistic and historical value, providing insight into the religious practices and visual culture of medieval Florence.

The Laudario was likely commissioned to be used during the confraternity's religious gatherings and processions, where members would sing praises (laude) to the Virgin Mary, saints, and other holy figures. The manuscript is richly illustrated with vibrant miniatures that depict biblical scenes and saints, showcasing Pacino di Bonaguida's skillful use of color and composition, which was influential in the development of Italian panel painting.

Pacino di Bonaguida, active in the first half of the 14th century, is recognized as one of the pioneering artists of the Italian Trecento, a period that marked the transition from medieval to Renaissance art. His work in the Laudario exemplifies the integration of Byzantine iconographic traditions with emerging Gothic styles, reflecting the evolving aesthetic preferences of the time.

The Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese is considered one of the earliest and most complete examples of a laudario manuscript, and it is particularly esteemed for its extensive cycle of illuminations. The manuscript not only serves as a testament to the devotional practices of lay religious communities in medieval Italy but also as a crucial document for the study of early Italian painting and the history of music.

Today, the Laudario is preserved in two separate parts, with the majority of the folios held at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence and additional fragments located at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Its pages continue to be a subject of scholarly research and are often included in exhibitions concerning medieval art and culture.
