Notes

• Initial D
   
• The style of penwork seen in this initial, as well as the use of red, blue, and light brown inks, is similar to the penwork initials of Guinifortus de Vicomercato, an illuminator active in central Italy in the mid-fifteenth century. Guinifortus signed his name in a pattern book of penwork initials now in the Lilly Library at the University of Indiana (MS Ricketts 240). Although their precise function is difficult to determine, pattern books allowed illuminators to show samples of their work or gave examples for apprentices to copy. The artist of this initial may have used such a pattern book when creating its design. Lewis E M 30:8 and E M 30:10-14 are from the same volume.
