Initial E: The Prophet Isaiah, about 1405. Additional Info: The prophet Isaiah sits enthroned before a luxurious green textile--decorated with delicate birds-- which signifies his importance. He raises his right hand to emphasize the Latin phrase that the letter introduces, 'Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile' (Now is the acceptable time), a biblical passage starting that the moment of salvation is at hand.
