Abstract

The Interpretation of the Hebrew Names, once a separate book, was attached to the biblical texts, and became a common part of portable Bibles after 1230. A magnificent hybrid with a fox-like head and wings of an eagle melds with the contour of the letter "A" that opens the text.

Decoration

Three flourished initials "A."
