As I said, the image is way too small and of too low a resolution to 
be able to tell.

Try googling for black-letter fonts, uncial fonts, and calligraphic 
fonts. With the original in front of you, you'll be able to do some 
comparisons.

Could it be that you have posted a thumbnail when you intended to post a large image?

The image is way too small and low resolution to determine which of 
hundreds of black-letter, uncial, or calligraphic fonts might be 
closest. It looks like a scan of metal-printed copy (at that 
resolution it might even be hand-lettered) and it's likely that there 
is no exact match, but there are definitely some that are close. The 
ornamented initials would be separate from the font in any case. I 
can't even tell what character it is - most likely an 'A', but I'm not 
sure.

2046,

As a note: like many people here, I am reluctant to download (unknown) files. If you don't have your own server, you can place a decent size image for free at pixentral.com, which provides a direct view (and not download) for us from their server, and a small preview to click on in the forums.

As a follow on to Neil's comments, the TurboUpload site that you used 
has hidden links to porn sites and others that try to set dozens of 
unwanted cookies on your system.

The red part was handwritten (probably 500 years ago) and possibly the 
black as well.

There is probably no font that matches all the letters in your sample; 
and not all instances of the same letter in your sample are formed the 
same way.

Here's an easy to page through group of blackletter fonts:
http://snipurl.com/6yhpu  [www_identifont_com]

If you google for
  blackletter fonts
you'll find a lot to choose from.

free blackletter fonts  will yield MOSTLY free versions.

Also google for
fraktur fonts.

for any of these searches, you can also click on 'images' on the 
google page. This will bring you right to some pictures of fonts, but 
NOT necessarily the same ones that the text search does.

Herb, 2046,

For that reason, I'm going to delete the download link. Now I certainly don't trust downloading anything there. Cookies, malware...etc.

Here are the Adobe fonts of this type:

Several of these are textura faces similar to the one shown.
