Assignment 15 Research and Inspiration

-An illuminated manuscript is a manuscript in which the text is supplemented by the addition of decoration, such as borders and decorated initials.
-colors used in illuminated manuscripts usually include red, yellow, green, blue, gold, white, black, and silver
-400-600 A.D.

I really like the decoration in the large caps in this illuminated manuscript. The colors all look good together and the decoration is pretty!!

The border in this picture is very interesting and looks nice. It also goes well with the colors in the capital letter. I also like how certain letters in the body text are highlighted red.

I really like the use of colors and overall look of this picture! I also like how the decorations at the bottom help tell the story of what the body text is about.
