Hieronymus
Hieronymus is a medieval manuscript page with an illuminated initial from around 1100, held by the e-codices Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland. The picture shows a red-ink penwork ornament of symmetrical scrolls and tendrils with a small pennant-like device at the top centre. A designer could take from it the rhythm of mirrored curling forms and the way fine red outlines sit on a pale parchment ground.
