Lights description of this as “an expensive volume, although not perhaps of the finest quality,” also notes the inclusion in this “small format Bible from the second quarter of the thirteenth century, copied in northeastern France or Flanders” of a list of themes organized by the liturgical year in addition to a list of Epistle and Gospel readings for the Mass. In this manuscript the readings are also marked marginally.
