initials: ornamental letters, usually capital, used for the first letter of a chapter or section or to draw the reader's attention, also called decorative initials or drop caps (dropped capitals).
In hand-written manuscripts a decorated initial is often a littera notabilior, a Latin phrase meaning a more noticeable letter.
