Initial D with a Bishop blessing the incense This leaf was once part of a pontifical, a liturgical book containing the services administered exclusively by popes or bishops. The blessing of the incense used during Mass was one of these services. This leaf is from the same manuscript as Lewis E M 42:18-19. This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an historiated initial. The text contains part of the service for the blessing of the incense. Script: Rotunda
