Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Cod. A 9
Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Cod. A 9 is a medieval manuscript held in the Burgerbibliothek in Bern, with no further catalogue detail given here. Its pictures are decorated initials: the first is a large interlace-filled letter in red, green and dark ink with knotwork bands, and the second is a painted capital B with curled foliate ornament beside a line of small running text in brown ink. A designer might take from them the layered knotwork borders and the contrast between a large ornamental letter and its text block.
