Item Info

Script: Rotunda
Language: Latin
Folio Number: front 68:17
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Initial E with St. Stephen Protomartyr
Notes: This initial begins the Introit for the feast of St. Stephen (Dec. 26), "Et enim sederunt principes et adversaum me loquebantur ..." (Closeted together, princes have plotted against me). A later scribe crossed out the first two words, "et enim," because they were dropped from the Introit at a later point in the history of the liturgy.
