Description
…………..
The modern English alphabet has 26 letters, BUT…
The number of letters in the English alphabet varied in medieval times, but it was generally around 24 letters:
Old English Latin alphabet: Used from the 8th to 12th centuries, this alphabet had about 24 letters. Most of the letters came from the Latin alphabet, but two were modified Latin letters (Æ, Ð), and two came from the runic alphabet (Ƿ, Þ). The letters Q and Z were rarely used, and the letter J was not yet in use.
AI says:
An ornate medieval-style decorative letter with intricate designs and vivid colors is featured alongside stylized text. Floral and natural motifs embellish the margins, creating an elegant and colorful composition.
