Description

Text: From a Quarto Bible, in Latin

Script: Textualis Formata (Textus Quadratus)

There are forty-one lines of text in double columns in a black gothic hand. The text is from Chronicles I, Ch. 12, v. 24 - Ch. 15, v. 22, and chapter and verse are shown below in square brackets. Line ruling is in hard point, and there is some line pricking on the lower edge.

There is one four-line initial ‘F’ in red, with calligraphic pen work decoration in red and blue, and a full length border initial ‘I’ with ‘J’-motifs in red and blue, heading and chapter numbers in red and blue letters, initial strokes in red. The recto side is headed ‘LIPO’ and the verso side is headed ‘PA’, presumably from the Greek ‘PARALIPOMENON’ ( or ‘PARALIPOMENA’) meaning ‘The thing(s) left out’.
