Description:
|
Book one: Chapter 3; Book two: Chapter 4. Book one ends at the conclusion of chapter three: 'sicut fons vite promanet', followed by: 'Explicit expla(na)tio liber primus in beati Benedicti regula a B. Zmarado abbate editus'. Book two begins: 'Incipit eiusdem liber secundus...' in red capitals. Chapter four of the Rule (What Are the Instruments of Good Works) commences: ' Sicut sunt fabrorum...'. The text is written in a Visigothic minuscule on lines ruled with dry point. There are 27 lines to a page. The text of the Rule is written in red or green ink. Coloured or decorated initials are sometimes used, particularly following extracts from the Rule and to denote the start of the chapters. These are, in many cases, drawn in outline and sometimes filled in with colour red, green and yellow. The first line of the present page is headed by the outline of a large decorated 'M' part filled with red and partly formed by two birds.
