Woodcut artworks for liturgy guides/programs
-
I'm looking for a couple of collections of decorated first letters for use in liturgy guides. You probably know the sort the highly decorated ones that were used in Breviaries and Missals and Bibles. Any good ones out there that you recommend?

I don't know about collections, but when I need them, I like to digitally cut-n-paste the ones from the Musica Divina Prosce (available in PDF on IMSLP).
Also, Parchment is a nice font for that sort of thing.
