Latin
Bifolium from an office lectionary (sanctorale), or from the lectionary part of a breviary. Early gothic script in black ink with red rubrics. Five initials in red ink and four in green, with three further green initials showing through from the fragment’s underside. The green initial introducing the Feast of Saint Stephen has pen flourishes in red ink. The black majuscules for responses and verses are rubricated. The text runs continuously from the verso of the first leaf to the recto of the second, suggesting that the bifolium sat at the top of its quire.
