    Initial V
    0 references
    The manuscript source of this initial remains a mystery. Its style is typical of a fanciful Romanesque initial, in which abstract decorative motifs change into zoological motifs. Here, a bird, snakes, and a lion biting the tendrils of interlace foliage bring the initial to life.
