Notes:

Purchased in 1972 from S. Harrison Thomson on the Beinecke Endowment Fund.
Script: Written in Northern Gothica Textualis Libraria in two sizes. The large script used for the text itself is written every two lines. The cursive r-abbreviation could point to England, the z standing on the line and the occasional use of j instead of i reminds us of Spain, the "horn" at the head of r is especially typical of German scribes.
The decoration consists of plain late Romanesque initials in red (2 lines).
