Initial B with the Holy Trinity This initial begins the Introit for the Mass of the Holy Trinity, 'Benedicta sit sancta Trinitas atque indivisa unitas...' (Blessed by the Holy Trinity and indivisible unity). Representations of the Trinity could vary from those that present God as the father, the Holy Spirit as a dove, and Christ as the man Jesus, to images such as this one that present a more nuanced interpretation of this... This cutting can be dated to ca. 1345-1350. This shows this reverse of a cutting with an historiated initial from a gradual. Script: Rotunda
