Notes

• Initial T with a Priest
   
• This initial begins the Introit for the Dedication of a Church, 'Terribilis est locus iste ...' (This is a fearsome place).
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial from an antiphonary. This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains two Communions found in the Common of Virgins.
   
• Initial N with a double headed eagle
   
• This initial begins the Introit for the Commemoration of St. Peter, 'Nunc scio vere ...' (Now I know for certain).
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial from an antiphonary. This side of the leaf, the true verso, contains the Introit for the Commemoration of St. Paul.
   
• Although slightly later, the style of illumination recalls that of William de Brailes, one of only two known artists working in England in the thirteenth century. De Brailes was responsible for the illumination on another manuscript in the Free Library's collection (Lewis E 29).
