Reconstruction Summary

...Et laetentur omnes, qui sperant in te.../...Laboravi in gemitu meo...

Roundel miniature in the outer central margin of recto and verso. Recto: A man in a red tunic is conversing with a man in a white robe, possibly a priest. They are in front of a building, surrounded by trees; Verso: Saint Alexius: Saint Alexius stands wearing a red robe on a hill with his arms outstretched. He is beside a monastery or church, facing away from the doors.

Evidence of later use: notes written in pencil on the bottom left corner of each side of the leaf. Recto side reads "243", and Verso side reads "VM 813.55", which could be possible page markers.
