Your links don't work, but I think you mean "illuminations." What you are looking for are illuminated manuscripts. Like the Book of Kells. You might like that one. Also, the Lindisfarne Bible.

The book of Kells would provide you with hundreds of wonderful ideas and designs. The book is thought to have been started in the 6th century yet the designs are timeless. I've often wondered if the many faces in the book of Kells were an inspiration for Picasso's art.
Enjoy.
