Canticles. A leaf is lost after folio 102v. F. 103 continues with 'Ihesu corona virginum...' and 'Virginis proles...'. Incipiunt hymni de Quadragesima: 'Dei fide qua vivimus...', which is introduced by a large, foliage terminated uncial 'D'. Following are 'Meridie orandum est...' and 'Te hora trina volvitur...'. The verses are in two columns of 31 lines, in black Carolingian minuscule with titles in red uncials. The initial letter of each verse is capitalised and infilled with colour. Large, decorated initials introduce each canticle. In the margin before the last title another hand has written: 'Ave maris stella dei mater alma'.
