From the Loras College collections, the *best* vine-bird-dragon of all time?! I think so, yes! 😍😍 @peripheralmss.bsky.social #medievalsky #midwestmss #medievalmss

A large nine-line Romanesque vine initial on a blue ground within a pale yellow square frame. On a red ground inside the letter A is the body of a bird facing left with a dragon head facing right, from whose mouth vines issue forth surrounding the creature

Medieval manuscripts are shaped by countless decisions made by scribes, illustrators, binders, and other hands. Thomas C. Sawyer explores how these choices, both material and textual, reveal the rich and complex world behind the making of a #medieval book. Read the blog: buff.ly/1iqlhvD #medievalsky
