Decoration: 3- to 4-line initials at the beginning of Psalms in red; some decorated with two or three small round red dots protruding from the interior of the letter; these initials are similar to those in Beinecke MS 481.48 and MS 481.52 and the Lambach Rituale (Cml LXXIII); 1-line initials at the beginning of verses in red square capitals; rubrics in red minuscule; first few words of each Psalm written in brown rustic capitals; punctuated with the punctus and punctus elevatus.
