Decorated Initial, In St. Gregory of Nazianzus' 'Eight Orations' f.74r
View through Europeana Collections
St. Gregory of Nazianzus (c.325-389) wrote three
types of work: poetical (including epigrams, epitaphs, and
epistles), prose epistles, and orations. Gregory is widely
acknowledged to be one of the finest of all Christian orators. His
orations were collected in various combinations, and were fairly
commonly found in monastic libraries. This manuscript has ownership
inscriptions of the Cistercian Abbey of Byland, in Yorkshire.
Comparison between this initial 'D' and other initials in the
manuscript reveal the great similarity in their design. Sometimes
small details can allow the style of a particular region or
individual artist to be identified.
