The paper is engaged with a definition of the typolotgy and modifications fo the caligraphic initials, compared with the typology of painted initials, and also with a comparative study of the terminoloty used in different languages for the specific compositions. The interest is also focused on relations among countries, regions and workshops that participated in the transformations of the caligrafic initials. The subject is studied on a broad period, from the Late Antiquity till the 16th century, but without a typology of fleuronée, only compositions of the body of the initials have been taken into consideration.

This paper focuses on the development of various types of drawn linear ornamentation and the changes in their functions in the manuscripts of late antiquity, Byzantium (to the 15th century) and the Latin West (up to and including the 11th century). This subject is examined in a comparison of the above cultural spheres and within the context of decoration in period applied art (particularly gold and textile work) and monumental painting and sculpture associated with architecture. The basics are also outlined for a study of the linear decoration of gothic manuscripts, which will be covered in another paper.

The paper focuses on the classification of the types of the Gothic illuminated initials in the manuscripts from 1250s to 16th century. The theme is studied in the context of the (Pre)Romanesque starting points and parallels in the Italian 15th century Renaissance illumination. The study also concretizes relations among Parisian workshops active in the 13th century, Italy and Central Europe, mainly in the 13th and 14th centuries as well as it indicates the importance of the scriptoria active in Bohemia under the Luxembourg dynasty for the evolution of the initials types in the Central Europe in the period before and after the Hussite wars, from the point of view of the relation of the centre to the production of the subordinate countries of the Bohemian Crown and to adjoining countries.

The paper focuses on the patronage of Cardinal Jacoppo Stefaneschi (died 1343) viewed from the perspective of book and monumental painting in the context of more general problems. First it analyses the relationship between the aesthetically discerning patron and Giotto, a celebrated artist tending towards a different style orientation and then it outlines some conceivable ramifications of this association for the further development of Giotto´s workshop. It examines the possible iconographic significance of the Stefaneschi altar in the period political context, and following this proposes more precise dating of the Stefaneschi Triptych and the Codex of St George. This layer of Italian art is immensely inspiring for the subsequent development of Bohemian painting in the period of the Luxembourgs.

The paper studies the typology of the initials following the way of construction of their corpus in the mutual ties in the development – departing from the late antique, considering the Byzantine and Pre-Romanesque and Romanesque types. The modifications of the initials are studied together with the changes of their function in the decoration system and in the cultural-historical context. The contribution also studies the changes of the terminology connected with the typology of the initials.

On the basis of the formal and iconographical analysis, after evaluation of the existing literature and taking in consideration hypothetical cultural historical circumstances of the creation of the manuscript, the author of the paper suggests to consider the manuscript a Bolognese school product – from the style group dating to the turning of 1320s and 1330s (in connection with Master from 1328 and his circle and with ties to painters active before Vitale da Bologna, as a point of departure for further development in Val Padana and in Veneto) and supposes that the cardinal Bertrand du Pojet might be a receiver of the manuscript. Dating is shift ed between 1331–1333 on the basis of the research results and on connections with the historical activities of the Luxembourg dynasty members in Italy in that time.

The subject of this paper is a typological classification of the acanthus ornamentation of the Czech manuscripts from the 14th – 15th centuries. The definition of the four types of Czech acanthus ornaments is studied in relation to their genesis and their sources in the illumination in Bohemia, Italy and Western Europe. The ornamentation of the manuscripts of the followed period is confronted with its resources and parallels in the contemporary sculpture and applied arts. The modifications of the types of acanthus is followed in the context of the relations of the Prague workshops with the regional production in the Czech Lands and also from the standpoint of their possible influence on the evolvement of acanthus ornament in the illumination of the Western and Central Europe of the 15 and early 16th centuries. The paper deals also with the possibilities of the content interpretation of the ornament decoration of the Medieval manuscripts and offers other questions and problems to be solved in the further study of this theme.
