Initial I with an unidentified male saint Not enough textual or iconographic evidence remains to identify the precise moment in the liturgy that this initial begins. It was painted, however, by an artist active within the circle of Niccolò di Giacomo da Bologna (fl. ca. 1353- 1401), the most famous and prolific Bolognese illuminator working in the second half of the fourteenth century. This cutting can be dated to ca. 1360-1370. This image shows the reverse of a cutting from a choir book.
