Bible Notre-Dame de Lyre, 12th century (1st quarter) 231 f. 465 x 245 mm. Bibliothèque municipale de Rouen, ms. 2 ( A 3 )

    The initials of this bible date from two different periods. The large letter V in folio 104 belongs to the original campaign of the beginning of the 12^th century : its left side is formed by a dragon in the form of the prow of a viking ship. In folio 83, the horizontal and vertical bars of the letter T in the word Tandem are made up of two dragons confronting each other.
