Notes

• Initial H with a King, possibly David
   
• This initial begins the Introit for the Vigil of the feast of the Nativity (Christmas Eve), 'Hodie scientis quia veniet dominus ...' (Today you shall know that the Lord will come). The inscription on the king's scroll reads: 'Conceptio tua dei genitrix virgo gaudium annuntiavit universo mundo' (Your Conception, Virgin Mother of God, has announced joy to the entire world).
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial from a gradual. This side of the leaf, the true verso, continues the Introit for the Vigil of the feast of the Nativity (Christmas Eve), which begins on the front.
   
• This cutting can be dated to before 1496.
