In Italian.
Script: the main section is copied by a single hand writing Southern Gothica Textualis Libraria; the headings in Southern Gothica Semitextualis Libraria. The Prayer to the Virgin is in Semitextualis under Hybrida influence; the two final Latin quotations in a large decorative impure Textualis Formata. The Pseudo-Bernard is in small rapid Italian Hybrida, the Latin Psalm verses in a larger and more formal form of the same script, with large opening majuscules. In the main section headings and stroking of majuscules in red; 1- and 2-line plain red initials half inserted, with large guide letters in the margin; a 3-line similar initial on f. 2r. The text opens with an outline initial in black.
