Two separate conjugate leaves on parchment, each c. 159 x 113 mm (c. 105 x 74 mm) with six three-line initials alternating in blue and red, the red having purple pen ornaments extending into the margins.

 

Ruled in ink for two columns of 32, written in a gothic script in brown ink, rubrics and pagination in red, and 67 single line initials alternating in red or blue with some purple line decoration to the red letters, and yellow highlights. There are two scribal corrections to the inner margins of the second recto.

 

The text to the first recto contains the cantus ‘D[omi]ne deus salutis me[a]e: i[n] die clamavi et nocte cora[m] te’, (’O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before you’).  Two very good examples, there is discolouration to the parchment, one small hole to both leaves in the lower inner margin, some rubbing to the text which does impact visibility, corrosion to script, most likely due to iron gall ink which impacts visibility.
