Plimpton MS 034 in Context

In order to put the anthropomorphic and zoomorphic initials of Plimpton MS 034 into context, it will be useful to compare the initials of two other manuscripts held at Columbia's Rare Book and Manuscript Library. The next two pages present Western MS 097 and Plimpton MS 041 as examples of less detailed faces and animals on the one hand, and incredibly detailed decorations on the other.
