101 EncountErs in Books The work of this last painter from the Mazarine manuscript can be expanded with reference to a previously unknown fragment from a Digestum vetus manuscript (beginning of Liber VI), now in Plzeň/Pilsen (pl. 5), which he provided with a min- iature and initial, as well as tendril and drollery decoration.21 Typical for his orna- mental motifs are the small gilded rectangles within letters, triple-dot decoration, French manuscripts come from this illuminator or his close circle: Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, lat. 8926 (Guillelmus de Mandagoto, Super electionibus), fol. 201r; and Venice, Biblioteca Marciana, Lat. IV, 109 (2434) (Gregory IX, Decretales), see Sto- nes, Gothic Manuscripts II/1 (cit. n. 2), pp. 179‒181, cat. nos. VII‒7‒8, figs. 344‒346. Significant formal and stylistic differences, however, mean that this last question requires further investigation. 21 Pilsen / Plzeň, Library of the West Bohemian Museum / Knihovna Západočeského mu- zea v Plzni, 510 B 057, Digestum vetus, Liber V and VI, with glosses, size: 34,7 × 24,4 cm. pl. 3: Illustration for Liber II.
