Description

Vellum is very worn, probably from heavy use.; Decorated initials with very elaborate filigree, some of the most impressive in Ege's collection especially considering how early it was made.; Angular Gothic Script; At the top of the page someone has written when to say the prayers, this is done in a different, simpler handwriting than the manuscript, it may have been done by an owner of the book. Similar writing is on some of the other pages, but in a different, more modern, handwriting.; Black, red, blue, gold, and green inks
