One page showing the stages by which a modern illuminator would paint a historiated initial (P), with the names of the vegetal and mineral pigments used in three campaigns of work: (i.) the gold ground, (ii.) the green patterned background, and (iii.) the historiated initial. By Klaus-Peter Schaffel, Binnigen, Switzerland, 18 September 1991. With penned letter and description by the artist. The working procedures of a medieval illuminator cannot have been much different.
