The printers provided three different options for the decorative initials opening the general prologue and books 1-8: (1) printed initials using the metal blocks made for the 1457 Mainz Psalter, but with one additional newly-produced metal block, an initial Q; (2) initial spaces left blank for individual owners to supply their own initials, with some pages re-set to increase the size of the initial spaces by one to three lines; (3) the illumination of all of the opening initials, except the initial 'P' opening book one, provided in the print shop (See Ikeda, 'First experiments', pp. 44-45).
