Description:
Psalm one hundred and eighteen. The verses are in two columns of 30 lines, in black Carolingian minuscule with titles in red uncials. The initial letter of each verse is capitalised and infilled with colour. The psalm continues over several folios, being divided into twenty two sections, headed by the names of letters of the Hebrew alphabet, titled in red uncials and followed by an oratio. A large, decorated or coloured initial opens each section; the 'P' introducing section 21 has foliage terminations. There is a hole near the beginning of the last oratio. The right hand margin has been cut away.
