Decorated Initial, In Simeon Of Durham's 'History Of The Church Of Durham'
View through Europeana Collections
Simeon of Durham (c.1070-c.1130) was precentor of
the monastic cathedral of Durham. He based his 'History of Durham'
on the writings of Bede, an anonymous Northumbrian chronicler,
Florence of Worcester, and on his own knowledge. This manuscript
was apparently produced at Durham, as its artist decorated some
other Durham books. Fairly soon after, however, it was acquired by
Fountains Abbey, about 50 miles south in Yorkshire. This initial
'T' is in the same style, and is doubtless by the same artist, as
the one at the beginning of the text. Two dog-like creatures
clamber among the fairly symmetrical foliate spirals and
tendrils.
