Folio Number: front
Source: Rare Book Department
Notes: Initial D with St. John the Baptist
Notes: This initial begins the Introit for the feast of St. John the Baptist (June 24), "De ventre matris meae uocauit me dominus nomine meo ..." (When I was still lying in my mother's womb the Lord sent his summons to me by name). 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 retouched.
