Particular distinction must be given to the Isabella Breviary?s exuberant marginal decoration. It displays a rare combination of modern strewn-flower borders and interwoven acanthus leaves and branches, together with a style that was already uncommon around 1490 blue and gold acanthus scrolls richly adorned with flowers, insects, and birds. 0 g.…
