Illumination is the practice of adding illustrations to a text. Illuminated manuscripts are often intricately decorated, and often follow some ubiquitous patterns — such as the usage of rubrication and marginalia. Stylistically, Liber Primus appears to take inspiration from illuminated manuscripts. LP’s pages contain intricate marginalia, miniatures, and rubricated incipits/explicits. Though digital rather than physical, the visual similarities between LP and illuminated manuscripts are apparent.
