Text: The text comprises part of the office of Compline in the Hours of the Virgin, beginning with the concluding verses of the canticle Nunc dimittis, followed by antiphons, responsory verses and the Angelus prayer.

Script and decoration: Written in lettre bâtarde script. Two 2-line initials in gold with brown highlights on blue ground; four 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.
