mo donum in longitudinem

pascuae ibi me collacavit [rubrication] Delicta [Psalmus]
At te Domine levavi animam

The particular details are: it is written in what resembles Italian Gothic Rotunda script; there are spots throughout this leaf that give rise to mistakes and corrections that were made in the scraped areas and has abbreviations; throughout the leaf there are places where the ink and colors pressed into the words thus covering them somewhat; and there is evidence where the coloration of the design of the leaf--the flowers and stems were rushed and created cruder than what may have come before or after this particular leaf thus leaving the blue from the flowers and ink onto the leaf--which also gives rise to ideas that the placement of the leaf is in a later section within the whole manuscript. It has tape residue as well on its corners. The recto has hair follicles and seems to be of poorer quality. The leaf has twenty lines of words and in the third and fourth lines it contains rubrication. There are also initials in some of the lines which are: 1, 3, 5 and 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, and 20. The illuminated initials are in red and blue. The illuminated decoration has blue flowers and red with stems and acanthus leaves of the same colors except having no green in their color scheme. The beginning of this leaf contains the last lines of Psalm 22 and some of the lines from Psalm 24. This leaf is the Recto.
This leaf is the verso. It also contains the Italian Gothic Rotunda script. It does not contain rubrication. It, however, contains illuminated initials in red and blue, and an illuminated decoration (having blue and red acanthus leaves and blue and a faded red (somewhat pink flower). The illuminated initials are located in lines 3, 5, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, and 20.
