Decorated initial "B" 

This illuminated initial "B" is a beautiful example of a decorated letter, a common feature in medieval manuscripts. The elaborate design features intricate scrolling vines, stylized leaves, and a vibrant palette of blue, green, and red. The ornate details and the skillful use of color add a visual richness to the text, enhancing the beauty of the manuscript and likely reflecting the importance of the text itself. While the artist's full name and the manuscript's date remain unknown, this work is attributed to Claricia, a female scribe who flourished in the early 13th century.
