Decoration
The web interface allows manuscripts to be filtered according to a high-level classification of the types of decoration they contain.
The current filters (with notes on their usage) are as follows:
Painted or tinted images, whether part of an original decorative scheme or added.
Uncoloured drawings or sketches, whether part of an original decorative scheme or added.
Painted borders of any type (including for example historiated, inhabited, foliate)
Initials, usually painted, containing identifiable persons or narrative scenes usually related to the text.
Other initials with significant decorative features, usually painted; includes 'arabesque' and 'silhouette' initials.
Initials with "fine linear embellishment" (Brown) often in a contrasting colour (includes 'puzzle' initials); borders of similar embellishment.
Initials of a single colour or in the ink of the text.
