Dr. Guest places the manuscript in London. De Ricci dates it to the early 15th century, Guest to the late 15th century. Elaborate border work and initials at openings of sections. Medium gold initials on red and blue fields. Small alternating gold and blue initials with opposing color penwork. Penwork flourishes in border, including leaves colored green. Rubrics. Initial on f. 9 shows performance of mass. Parchment The foliation here begins on the second vellum leaf.
