Here is the entire alphabet authentically illuminated in the historiated style; a term indicating that each letter is filled with miniature scenes and figures interwoven with artistry, wit and ingenuity. The period covers the two centuries just prior to the invention of the printing press, during which hand-drawn hisoriated letters reached the zenith of their creativity.
