Script and decoration: Written in lettre bâtarde script. Two 2-line initials in gold with brown highlights on blue ground; fourteen versal capitals alternately blue or gold, with pen flourishing in red or black extending into the margins. Line fillers consist of alternating blue and brown bars embellished with fronds in gold.
