Additional Physical Characteristics:
Parchment sheet (half a bifolium) that has been trimmed on one of the long sides, probably because it was cut out of a book (see irregular edge on the left side of the initial 'L' for 'Lactuce'); used as a wrapper around a booklet of modest proportions (the folds and stitch holes on both the left and the right of the letters 'c' in the margin mark the outlines of the back of this unknown volume); parchment of mediocre quality (as shown by the hole and the 'transparent' patch in lower margin, which are original); ruling visible (plummet); pricking survives in upper margin only; several reference letters ('c') in margin on recto indicating what initial the illuminator needed to produce; main text and rubrics by one scribe (littera textualis, 1250-1300), who worked in France, possibly in the south; initials with penwork flourishing.
