Description

The vellum is in poor condition, there is a hole near the bottom of the page.; Decorated initials, three on the verso, none on the recto. These letters are done in gold, with red and blue as backgrounds and thin, circular decorations in white above them.; Angular Gothic Script, this font is difficult to read, especially now that the vellum is worn.; Both Denison and Jean Preston note that many leaves in this book have red underlining and this is quite original, ours, however, does not have this.; Black, red, blue, gold, and white inks. Ege notes that the black ink has a greenish undertone and that this was more typical in England than in France.
