Fol. [1]r (not reproduced) has been left blank. The illuminated page was probably a verso, facing the text on the following recto.

The miniature extends to the entire page.

The depiction shows the iconography of majestas Domini (Christ in Majesty) with the tetramorph (the four Evangelists with their attributes). Christ is shown enthroned on a checkered ground of gold leaf and blue and framed by a multifoil within a lozenge shape. He rests his right hand on a globe and makes a blessing gesture with the left. Outside the rhomb, in the upper part, there are five golden wimpergs alternating with four pinnacles also in gold. In the four corners of a framed golden ground we see the winged evangelists seated at a desk and writing in a book, each evangelist in a different pose. Next to them are their attributes: the angel for Matthew, the eagle for John, the lion for Mark and the ox for Luke.

On each vertical side of the rhomb there is a knotwork. A gold-framed medaillon is placed on each of the four corners of the golden ground, with a threefoil inscribed within a quatrefoil. At the centre of each, against a blue background, is an heraldic shield (or, three eschutcheons vair). A golden frame with gilded leaves encompasses the miniature.

Stones 2013, part I, vol. 1, pp. 223-224 (including ill. 421) points to the missal leaves with the depiction of the Crucifixion and Christ in Majesty in Copenhagen, KB, Thott 146, 2o, fol. 111v-112r, which she attribute to the same artist as the Antwerp fragment on the basis of a striking similarity of style and layout.

Amiens

Commissioned by a member of the Munchensy family of Norfolk, as suggested by the repeated Munchensy shields. Sold by M. Quedeville in 1852. Acquired in Paris in 1898 by Fritz Mayer van den Bergh from the heirs of Carlo Micheli.

De Coo 1978, p. 180-181 links the original commission to the abbey of Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire. He based his attribution on the multiple depictions of the coats of arms of the Munchensey family within the miniature. He states that a member of this family, Denise de Munchensey, founded the abbey of Waterbeach, and was its first abbess.

Stones also states that the coat of arms of Denise of Munchensy is depicted on this fragment and identifies Denise of Munchensy as the patron or first owner of the manuscript (Stones 2013, part I, vol. 1, p. 87 and cat. III-38, pp. 246-247). On the basis of this identification she dates the fragment to before 13 August 1313 (Denise the Elder of Munchensy's death ).
