- Housed in a matted frame (325 x 750 mm), Three, 2-line red initials; remains of an incipit in ornamental red letters. Rubric in red on the recto., Twelfth-century Italian portion of the opening folio from a monumental Atlantic Bible in Latin. Recto contains sections of Genesis 1:7-23 and verson sections of Genesis 1:26-2:15 and (only beginning words of each line) 2:24-3:12., Fine Caroline script, and Produced in Italy ca. 1100.

These texts were oversized as "Atlantic" refers to the giant Atlas, and they probably had use as liturgical visual aids (De amel, Chrostpher. "Giant Bibles of the Early Middle Ages." The Book: A History of the Bible (London: Phaidon Press, 2001), 64-91)."XXII" on the verso in pencil. "6007" on the recto in pencil.
