Notes

• Initial E
   
• This initial was probably illuminated in an eastern European center, perhaps in Bohemia. Although the Rotunda script might suggest an Italian origin, the style of the decoration indicates that it was made in Eastern Europe. The use of the Italian script in this context can be explained by the region's political and economic ties with Italy under the rule of the Habsburgs that led to artistic and cultural exchanges between the two regions.
