Description
St. Jerome translation of the Bible; There is significant amounts of dirt on the recto.; Verses are shown in the simple style typically associated with Bibles.; Angular Gothic Script; There is one instance of commentary marginalia, however, this was done in the same, intricate style of the rest of the manuscript suggesting that it was added by the original scriptorium because of an error.; The small, intricate script is what is most impressive about this manuscript. Ege says that the script imitates architectural movements of the time period. Jean Preston says that this script is typical of pocket Bibles from the time. However, the page that this is printed on is very large, one of the largest in the collection, with lots of open space for marginal comments.; Black, blue, and red inks
