Decorated Initial, In St. Gregory of Nazianzus' 'Eight Orations' f.84v
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. This
initial 'U' is extremely similar in design to that on f.5v: there
can be no doubt that they are by the same artist (and indeed one
would not expect multiple artists to contribute to a manuscript
like this).
