Description
Discusses the blanks left for illustration in Corpus Christi College MS 61, suggesting a possible strategy for prospective illustrations, including initials: the illustration would have emphasized choice as an aspect of narrative structure. The illustrations may not have been completed for a number of reasons, or there may not have been a program for completion, but the section on TC seems to indicate one.
