Eusebius-Hieronymus: Chronicon

699 · 2 pictures

This is a late seventh-century illuminated manuscript copy of Eusebius and Jerome's Chronicon, dated 699 and held by a Swiss library, with Latin text set in large decorated capitals. The two pictures show red and green initial letters, interlaced knotwork, and a stylised fish and bird-like ornament, offering a designer a model for hand-drawn display lettering and early medieval ornamental banding.
