Recipe Details
Evidence
"The codices are deluxe copies and reflect the wealth of the original owner... [and image provided in Fig. 2 showing illuminated initial]."
Remarks
As seen in Fig. 2 (p. 67), the manuscript contains an illuminated initial 'Q' (Quoniam) at the beginning of the Gospel of Luke, featuring elaborate blue and red colorants. These 'deluxe copies' contain a near-complete set of the Latin Old and New Testament (p. 53).
