But who among us hasn’t spent hours watching the light play off of an illuminated initial? Has mankind not done sillier things by far for the love of gold? Ms. Codex 1056 is a Book of Hours for the use of Rouen, and this initial O on fol. 18v is a particularly good-looking example of the kinds of decorative labor that went into it. The floral and foliate borders are nothing to scoff at, either!
