f82r top: hanging capital?
#1
I wonder if the two arched tubes at the top of You are not allowed to view links.

These two examples are later than the VMS, but I think the “hanging capital” motif also appears in early medieval manuscripts.
I would be interested in seeing other examples, especially if they are closer to the weird “capital” in the VMS and / or earlier than these two.
Both these books present several occurrences of the motif.
