Description
The vellum is in poor condition and the black ink has begun to fade.; Many decorated initials.; Rotunda Gothic Script; The decorated letters here are particularly well done. Again, simple rubricated letters are enlivened by thin filigree. Ege notes that the writing is unusually well done and that this may be a result of competition with the printing press. This is a revival of an older style of writing.; Black (faded, now looks brownish, but on the other manuscripts in better condition the color is black), red, blue, purple, gold inks
