Saint Dominic traveled much, preaching throughout Europe, and was particularly venerated in Bologna, the city in which he died and was buried. The illuminator of this initial is named after a volume he decorated of Seneca’s works (now in the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris). His workshop specialized in large-scale manuscripts destined for wealthy religious institutions in the region of Emilia, for which Bologna was the artistic and intellectual center. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.60.a/1985.60.a_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.60.a/1985.60.a_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.60.a/1985.60.a_full.tif
