    This Medieval Illuminated Miniatures LoRA is designed to authentically replicate the richly detailed artwork found in historical illuminated manuscripts from the 12th to 15th centuries. Trained on a diverse dataset of high-resolution bestiaries, religious miniatures, grotesque marginalia, and Gothic manuscript pages, this LoRA enhances AI generations with the bold linework, intricate gold leaf effects, and stylized medieval pigments characteristic of European illumination art.

    ✨ Features & Style Fidelity:

    True-to-History Aesthetic – Inspired by bestiaries, apocalyptic visions, Gothic calligraphy, and illuminated initials.
    Intricate Linework & Borders – Accurately replicates delicate inkwork, gold embellishments, and hand-painted textures.
    Medieval Color Palette – Rich reds, deep blues, gilded golds, and parchment textures, mirroring historical manuscript pigments.
    Versatile Themes – Excels at generating mythological creatures, religious iconography, knights, saints, angels, demons, and surreal marginalia.
    Gothic & Romanesque Elements – Faithful to the stylistic influences of Carolingian, Ottonian, Gothic, and Renaissance-era manuscripts.

    🦄 Ideal for Creating:
    • Medieval bestiary creatures (griffins, basilisks, unicorns, dragons, grotesques).

    • Religious manuscript illuminations (saints, angels, apocalyptic imagery).

    • Marginalia & grotesque doodles (knights vs. snails, surreal hybrids, humorous scenes).

    • Decorative illuminated borders & manuscript pages (Latin script, gilded frames, scrollwork).

    • Fantasy-inspired medieval book art (dark academia, alchemical diagrams, tarot-like illuminations).

    ⚙️ Recommended Settings:
    • Base Model: SDXL Illustrious (best for intricate details)

    • LoRA Strength: 0.7 - 0.9 (for best stylistic influence)

    • Resolution: 768x768 or 1024x1024 (to preserve manuscript detailing)

    • Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras (for sharp inkwork & balanced contrast)

    • Hires Fix: Enabled (for ultra-sharp manuscript textures)

    • Negative Prompts: (use bad anatomy/face/limb cleanup for better accuracy)

    📜 The Aberdeen Bestiary (c. 1200)
    📜 The Harley Bestiary (British Library, 13th century)
    📜 The Morgan Apocalypse (14th century)
