P-AR (Arouca) Museu Regional de Arte Sacra do Mosteiro de Arouca Res. Ms. 025

Complexly decorated initials for the first matins responsory of major feasts. They all share rather intricate floral patterns and, more rarely, zoomorphic with colour patterns of deep red, light red/pink, orange, blue and azul.

Other chant initials generally in taller letters of blue, red and green.
