Item No: mcai310071
Additional Title: Choir book
Language:
Latin
Folio Number: front
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Initial L
Notes: The style of this initial is reminiscent of Italian initial decoration, especially in the northern regions. Certain elements in the execution of the initial as well as in the script suggest, however, that the artist was not Italian but perhaps Spanish or Portuguese. Artists and scribes in the Iberian Peninsula were heavily influenced by the luxury choir books that came out of Italy in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. This influence can be seen in the Italianate forms common in Iberian decoration.
