Text: From a Book of Hours, in Latin
Script: Textualis Libraria (Rotunda)
The text comes from the Hours of the Virgin, at Sext. The line ruling is in red ink(?), but there is no line pricking. There is a panel border on each side showing a large bird among blue and gold acanthus leaves and coloured flowers and leaves on liquid gold ground. There are two two-line versals, nine one-line versals and eleven line fillers. Initials have a stroke of yellow wash.
