A medieval Latin manuscript of Eusebius of Caesarea and Rufinus of Aquileia, copied around 1250 and held by a Swiss library, probably made for a monastic or clerical reader. Its pictures are decorated initials in blue, gold and orange with leafy ornament, some with animal heads and foliage, which a designer might use as models for historiated capitals and manuscript-style letterforms.
