Biblia Latina (Vulgata): Evangelia
This is a Latin Vulgate manuscript of the Gospels, copied around 850 and held by a Swiss library, probably for church or monastic reading. The first picture shows a large initial letter with interlace knotwork in a roundel, leaf-like curls, and red and ochre fills beside columns of black script. The second shows a winged figure with a human body and bird head, holding a book in orange robes, which a designer could use for medieval manuscript ornament and interlace patterning.
