Bonus bonus round: the initials in LTK 191 aligned next to each other reminded me of a flipbook, and the last page of the "Roman van Ferguut" (facing F&B) even has a space in which the illustrator (or maybe someone else?) practiced drawing them!

This version may not have 159 colourful miniatures but it does have cute little faces and animals in its initials – the same kind that graces almost every page of LTK 191‘s first text: the only Dutch version of the OF "Roman de Fergus".

These initials reveal one scribe across two manuscripts!

LTK 2040 is tiny by comparison – an open spread is considerably smaller than a single page from LTK 191, and only four short segments survive.
What jumps out besides this are multiple instances of censorship: an owner of this MS has erased mentions of love and tenderness between the main characters…

What follows is a third, 10-page segment with folios that are damaged to varying extents. They are narrower and shorter than those of the "main" segment and those of the following text, and the last page‘s verso side is completely empty, implying again that the MS was re-bound at least once.

A very clearly legible main segment of the text follows after two folios that are smaller in dimension, partly dirty and partly faded. Between these two segments are traces of the compiler/binder‘s work: two pages that were cut and removed from the "better" segment.

I got to visit @unileiden.bsky.social today and looked at the only two surviving Middle Dutch witnesses of "Floris ende Blancefloer" – in two 14th-c. manuscripts that differed greatly in look and feel!
