Today’s catchword is not decorated. Not only did I want to provide a contrast to what you’ve been seeing this week, but I also wanted to show you a catchword in action with a more legible script.As you can see, this catchword from Ms Codex 1122 reads “Ex hoc illa” and on the next page, the text of course begins, “Ex hoc illa,” thus fulfilling the function of a catchword.Ms Codex 1122 is a treatise on rhetorical theory written in 15th century Italy.
