- On verso: corrections in the inner margin in same script as main text., A cut in parchment in the outer margin of recto with no loss of text; stub of conjugate leaf is present; remnant of a mended cut in the inner margin, sewing holes visible; prickings visible on the outer and inner margins., Running title: on recto "GA" and verso "AD" alternating red and blue; biblical quotations underlined in red; 2-line initials in blue or blue with contrasting pen flourishes in red or blue; 1-line initials alternating red and blue., A leaf from Peter Lombard's Magna glossatura in Epistolas Pauli, glossed and written in the intercisum format. Peter Lombard developed the text in Paris in the second quarter of the 12th century during his teaching activities. It became one of the required readings of the faculty of Theology. The leaf is taken from Galatians 6:10. Biblical text is written in short blocks to the left of each column on every second ruled line, the gloss surrounding the biblical text on three sides., 2 columns of 55 lines lead point ruled written in early Gothic script; text written above the top line; on recto: letters written in lead point to indicate placement of colored initials; text written in intercisum format., and The format of the manuscript, and the quality of the parchment and decoration, suggest that this manuscript was intended for a wealthy abbot or bishop or a well-off scholar (see Frońska, Royal Manuscripts (2005)). The script and the decoration suggest a French production. According to Avril, 'Un manuscrit d'auteurs classiques' (1975), pp. 268-69, the decoration might be connected with the second artist of a manuscript containing classical works (Paris, BnF, MS lat. 7936) produced in Paris. Although there are common features between the initials of both manuscripts, 'their historiated initials cannot be ascribed to the same hand' according to Frońska, Royal Manuscripts (2011). A Parisian Bible produced around 1200, now Berlin, Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz, MS theol. lat. fol. 9, is close to this manuscript in script and decoration (see Ayres, 'Parisian Bibles' (1982), 5-13).
