Ruled in red with dark brown ink, in fine gothic textura script, with rubrics in red. Rinceaux border trailing vines & flowers into the margin. The five-line historiated initial is a rare example from the Edgerton Master Workshop. The historiated "O" contains a painting of the Virgin Mary and begins the Obsecro Te.
