A single leaf on parchment, c. 112 x 82 mm, ruled in ink for fifteenth lines (c. 79 x 52 mm), written in gothic texualis script in black ink, letter highlights in red, rubrics in red, blue or red one-line initials, one two-line red initial.
The text contains Psalm 138:14-24 beginning ‘[mirabi]lia op[er]a tua, [e]t a[n]i[m]a mea c[o]gnosc[i]t nimis (Your works, and my soul knows them very well) to the recto. This is followed by a two line initial to the lower end of the verso, opening Psalm 139: 2-3 beginning ‘Eripe me, d[omi]ne, ab ho[m]i[n]e malo’ (Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man).
A very good example, some discolouration to the upper margin of the parchment, very minor rubbing to one single-line blue initial to the verso.
