Red penwork initial and bonus manicule from fol. 2v of LJS 194. You’d think an initial like this is nothing much to write home about because it doesn’t contain any gold leaf or meticulous miniature portraits of Paul escaping from Damascus in a dangling basket or something, but then you try to reproduce one from scratch and it’s so excruciatingly complicated! Although a medieval scribe probably couldn’t beat my scores in Minesweeper, so I’ve got that going for me still.Manuscript description and digital images can be found here at OPenn. -- source link
