Ancrene Wisse
Date
13th century
This manuscript is one column throughout. It has litterae notibiliores in a variety of sizes, all red and blue with intricate decoration in the opposing color that may extend the full length of the folio. Capitula, abbreviated to C, are common and use the same coloration and decoration as the initials. Rubrics only appear before notable letters, but only early in the manuscript. Maniculae often appear in the margins, pointing to the text.
