Smaller decorative initials in blue and red in a variety of styles can be found throughout. The margins contain a number of drawings of fashionable humans, heads and fantasy creatures. |

| Description | A selection of over 200 volumes of medieval and early modern manuscripts, dating from the 9th to the 17th century. Some of Scotland's most important early manuscripts are included in the many Scottish volumes. These are complemented by interesting and significant works of international origin, including volumes from France, England, the Low Countries, Italy and a number of other countries. Most of the manuscripts were collected by the Advocates Library, the forerunner of the National Library of Scotland. |
