you do a search on “initials” you’ll see a handy list of all the narrower terms for it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you Dorothy, I will probably use this. Is it really possible that there is nothing in RBMS controlled vocabularies? I'm seeing "initials" but nothing specifically for hand-illuminated or rubricated initials.<o:p></o:p></p>
