Among the glories of surviving medieval manuscripts are illuminated ornaments in which florals, animals, human figures, and other motifs intertwine to form extraordinarily beautiful, decorative letters. This collection includes 296 of these permission-free images. A practical archive of usable lettering, these lovely illustrations also offer a wonderful glimpse of the ancient art of manuscript illumination.
