Framed Print of Bifolium Excised from a Carolingian Gradual (recto), c. 830-860. Creator: Unknown
Bifolium Excised from a Carolingian Gradual (recto), c. 830-860. This bifolium, or double-leaf, does not contain decorated letters but rather emphasized letters. These were enlarged and pushed out into the margins to call attention to the eye. Such emphasized letters originated in late classical times and were the precursor to the decorated initial developed by medieval scribes. The purple-stained vellum (now faded to a deep pink) with its text written in gold and silver inks (now turned black) suggested great luxury with its sumptuous appearance. In Mediterranean regions, the purple dye was obtained from murex, a shell-fish dye. In northern Europe, plant dyes were used as an alternative.
