Description

This leaf contains the fifth, sixth, and seventh psalms of the Seven Penitential Psalms. The text on the recto begins with the last few lines of Psalm 102 (the fifth Penitential Psalm), followed by the beginning of Psalm 130 (the sixth Penitential Psalm). Psalm 130 concludes on the verso, and it is followed by the beginning of Psalm 143 (the seventh Penitential Psalm).

The text is written in Gothic quadrata bookhand. There are twenty lines of text per page, and the red ruling is visible. On the recto, preceding Psalm 130, there is one rubrication in red: an abbreviation for "psalmus David," or "David's psalm."

Large, square red and gold initial letters (two lines high) begin the first lines of Psalms 130 and 143. Small, square initial letters (one line high) begin the other lines of the psalms. These small initial letters are either blue or red and gold.

Flowers and acanthus leaves on a gold background decorate the outer margins of both sides of the leaf. This decoration is contained within a rectangle, outlined in blue.

The sewing holes are visible along the edge of the gutter on both recto and verso. Fragments of binding thread are visible along the edge of the gutter on the verso.
