Capital letter T - initial letter taken from the collection of Latin legends of Saints in the Arundel Library in t he British Museum (No. 91) and is interesting as furnishing us with early forms of musical instruments. The instrument in the mouth of the larger figure (which holds the two harps) appear to be a kind of flute. The great variety of musical instrumentsr is represented in the illuminations of ancient manuscripts, and mentioned in the old Romances and other writings, is very remarkable. The fantastic forms of some of these instruments appear to be the mere inventions of the illuminator, while others are perhaps altogether imaginary representtions of the musical instruments mentioned in the Bible.
