A Latin Bible manuscript from around 1080, held in a Swiss library, whose large decorated initials are its main visual feature. The pictures show interlaced white vine scrollwork with blue and green grounds, orange outlines and red capitals on parchment, a pattern a designer could adapt for ornamental borders and initial letters.
