The outer edge of the leaf is severely damaged and brittle, with loss of text. Cause of the damage is unknown. Two of the green initials, an 'I' and an 'O', remain only in outline, possibly due to damage caused by iron gall ink.  The fragment is kept in a double-sided glass frame, which does not obscure any of the leaf's contents.

 Ruled in drypoint. 100 100

English Caroline minuscule.

 One- to five-line initials in alternating plain blue, green and red. Rubrics in red. It is noted in University of Leeds legacy records that this leaf is removed from University of Leeds Libraries, Special Collections, Ripon Cathedral Library XVII.J.10/Q. This seems unlikely, however, given the size of the fragment and the supposed host volume. Description by: Quinty Uitman, University of Leeds, 2023
