Item Info

Language: Latin
Folio Number: front
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Initial T with Christ holding the Church
Notes: This initial begins the Introit for the Dedication of a Church, "Terribilis est locus iste hic domus dei est et porta caeli ..." (This is a fearsome place; it is the house of God and the gate of heaven). Much of the initial has been restored by a nineteenth-century hand, but the style recalls the work of Sienese illumination of the fifteenth century.
Notes: This initial has been heavily retouched.
