Fol. 2b has an illuminated head piece executed in gold leaf with blue, red, orange, purple and white watercolors. No catchwords present. A short inscription (a short special prayer) on fol. 1a.

A fair amount of water damage to the paper, some of the text is smudged (see explicit) and many pages are stuck together.
