Notes
- Initial I
- This initial is a fine example of the type of ornament that characterizes Italian illumination of the Romanesque period. The refined interlace pattern at the top of the initial and the subtle foliate motifs within the stem are typical of illuminated initials produced in Tuscany in the last half of the twelfth century.
- This image shows the reverse of a cutting with a decorated initial from a choir book.
