Marginalia are embellishments found in the margins of Medieval manuscripts, providing a fascinating window upon the lives and imaginations of the authors. With its vibrant illuminations of life in the 14^th Century, the Luttrell Psalter is a justly famous manuscript, notable for its inventive creatures.

Please note that this illustration is drawn on a brown paper with a naturally rustic texture. This means that there could be some slight speckling or uneven textures in the paper, which only adds to its historical effect!
