Title: Decorated Initials (White Gothic letters interlaced with white tendrils over black backgrounds).
Date: 1498
Medium: Woodcuts (or woodcuts standing-in for lost woodblocks). Measurements? Documented in Bonifacio García, Peregrina sive vocabulario iuris, cum glossa. Sevilla: Meinardo Ungut and Estanislao Polono for Lázaro Gazanis [Letters A, B, D, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, X, Z (all shown here). Letters C, E in the Peregrina have been excluded from consideration here, as they do not seem to belong to this font (these letters and their tendril decorations lack the characteristic hook endings of this font)].
