There are a lot of scanned illuminated capitals and other manuscript details here. Not all are from the mid-14th century as indicated by the page title. It's also a nostalgic glimpse of mid-nineties amateur web design; it looks like it was created with that program ("Composer", maybe?) that you used to get with Netscape Navigator.
If you're still using an outdated Hotmail or AOL email address and can't get rid of it, but want to manage it all via a single Gmail interface (or something else you like better), here's how.
