An illuminated initial from an early 14th century manuscript copy of Friar William of Rubruck's Itinerarium. The upper portion shows William of Rubruck and his travelling companion with Louis IX of France. The friars are either receiving a commission from the French king (Jackson & Morgan 1990, Frontispiece) or presenting their report (Beazley 1903, p. xviii). The lower portion shows the two friars on their journey.

Notes

The historiated initial is the first letter of the text which begins Excellentissimo domino et christianissimo Lodovico dei gracia Regi francorum illustri Frater W. de Rubruc ... The text includes many abbreviations; this is standard in medieval Latin manuscripts.

A black and white image of this illuminated initial is used as a frontispiece in Jackson & Morgan 1990.
