An illuminator’s labors

This month for #MedievalMonday, we’ll look at 10a 212 – a 14th century Italian copy of Giles of Rome’s De regimine regem et principum.

But because today is Labor Day, no lengthy posts here – just enjoy the labors of 10a 212’s illuminator in these beautiful painted initials.  (For earlier posts about initials, please see They don’t make pen-work like this anymore!; Ghoulies and ghosties and medieval beasties; and Pretty in…purple?).
