Manuscript leaf from a Bible, in Latin, produced in France (Paris)

Text: From a Bible, in Latin

Script: Textualis Formata (Textus Semiquadratus)

Commentary Script: Textualis Libraria (Textus Semiquadratus)

The text shows the Great Gloss (commentary) of Petrus Lombardus on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. The Bible text is from Romans, Ch. 14, v. 1-10, and chapter and verse is shown below in square brackets. Fifty-five lines of commentary by Petrus Lombardus are in a smaller black gothic hand in double columns. Line ruling is in hard point, and there is some line pricking on the inner edge.

Seventeen versals, with calligraphic pen work decoration in red and blue, and a heading in red and blue capitals. Underlining of some words in the commentary, relating directly to the Bible text, is in red. In some places in the commentary double red dots appear which may relate the words to the work of earlier commentators. Some capital letters are touched with red.
