De la Conquête de Constantinople (On the Conquest of Constantinople) fol. 1r
Written by Geoffrey of Villehardouin, knight and crusader and therefore eyewitness. The work is written as an epic in the third person. Here, the initial "S" contained a depiction of Foulques of Neuilly preaching about the Fourth Crusade. The detail at the bottom border shows the arrival of the crusaders at Constantinople.
