Initial G with the Adoration of Christ This initial was illuminated by Georg and Leonhard Beck, a father-and-son team of illuminators working in Augsburg from ca. 1490 to ca. 1512, when Georg, the father, died. The liturgy that this initial begins remains to be identified, although it surely begins a chant sung during Christmas Day. This image shows the reverse of an initial with an historiated initial from a choir book. This cutting can be dated to ca. 1500. Script: Gothic bookhand
