EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illuminated initial [H] in gold with white vine-stem decoration, dating back to around 1465. The artwork is part of Ms 331, a manuscript titled "Hyginus, Astronomia, and others" created by an anonymous illuminator from Rome during the 15th century. The intricate design extends into a partial border and can also be found in the bas-de-page. What makes this piece even more intriguing is the presence of a coat of arms painted over the original set. These particular arms belong to Ludovico Podocataro (ca 1429-1504), replacing those originally belonging to Angelo Fasolo (1426-1491). It's fascinating how history unfolds through these subtle changes. The photograph was taken with kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate. Its parchment material adds an authentic touch to its historical significance. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only exceptional craftsmanship but also glimpses into personal histories and connections between individuals who lived centuries ago. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to human creativity and artistic expression that continues to captivate us today.
