Notes

• Initial A with God adored by angels
   
• The initial A in this cutting was painted in Italy, probably in the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries. The scene within the initial, however, is by an artist working in the nineteenth-century. Medieval art became fashionable in the Victorian period, and the demand for illuminated manuscripts tempted many artists to make forgeries to sell to unwitting buyers.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a cutting from a medieval choir book with an historiated initial painted in the nineteenth century.
