Text: From a Book of Hours, in Latin
Script: Textualis Formata (Textus Quadratus)
The text is from the Hours of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is probably from Lauds in the Hours of the virgin. Psalm 66 and part of the Benedicite are shown. This leaf appears to be from the same manuscript as MS 5650/28.
The writing is in brown ink with red abbreviations. Line ruling is in brown ink(?) with no line pricking. Two two-line versals are in raised and burnished gold on blue and mauve cusped rectilinear grounds with white filigree. There are fifteen one-line pen-flourished Lombardic versals in burnished gold or blue.
