Notes

• Initial I with a saintly scribe, possibly St. John the Evangelist
   
• The liturgy that this initial begins remains to be determined, as does the iconography. The saintly scribe's youthful features suggest St. John the Evangelist.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting with an historiated initial from a choir book.
   
• This cutting can be dated to ca. 1325.
