Corpus Grammaticorum Latinorum
A ninth-century Latin grammar manuscript, held by a Swiss library and dated to around 850, with text in a Carolingian-style hand and decorated initial letters for readers of Latin texts. The pictures are hand-painted initials in orange, green and grey with interlace, animal heads and knotwork, set against the margins of the text, offering a designer ideas for drop caps, ornamental capitals and historic letterform decoration.
