Illuminated with two miniatures of God the Father and Christ, c. 45 x 39 mm (God), c. 45 x 38 (Christ) mm. God the Father clutches a cross topped orb in his left hand, while the right is raised in benediction, his eyes downcast and he is elaborately dressed on the recto. The second portrays a flagellated Christ with his hands bound, dressed in the purple robe he was dressed in before he was led out to be crucified, grasping a reed as a mock sceptre on the verso. The miniatures and text are framed by an elaborately decorated full border with flowers, strawberries, acanthus leaves of pink, red and blue with a dragon to the recto and verso of the lower edge of the border on liquid gold grounds.
A single leaf on parchment, c. 180 x 117 mm, ruled in ink, c. 109 x 56 mm (ruled), written on twenty-two lines in brown ink with yellow highlights, in a brown ink, in a gothic textualis script, with rubrics in blue, with two two-line initials in pink highlighted with white on gold grounds with a flower decoration, modern foliation in pencil to the upper corners.
 
The text contains individual prayers dedicated to The Trinity. The text on the recto and half of the verso contains a prayer dedicated to God the Father; ‘Domine sa[n]cte pater’, (‘Lord, Holy Father’). The text at the end of the verso begins the prayer dedicated to The Holy Son; ‘Ad filium’, (‘To the Son’).
 
An excellent example of a finely illuminated leaf. Very minor smudging to the blue headers and the border illumination, with very small pigment loss to the green in the lower corner of the verso. Sight rippling to the parchment, binding marks to the edge of the parchment. Offsetting to the recto of an illuminated initial, and a border to the verso.
