Text: From a Psalter, in Latin
Script: Textualis Formata (Textus Quadratus)
The text shows part of Psalms 135 and 136. There are sixteen lines of ruled text, written with dark brown ink in a gothic script. There is one two-line initial in gold on blue and red ground with delicate white tracery and extending with a gold, red and blue bar upward along the length of the text. Also there are sixteen one-line initials alternating in blue with red pen-work and gold with blue pen-work. Ten line fillers are in blue and gold. The rinceaux border (on verso only) is elegantly painted with blue, pink, green and burnished gold containing a stylised dragon-like creature.
The leaf is very similar in style to Item 22 in Maggs European Bulletin No. 22, Catalogue 1249 (1998).
