Image title
A full-page framed foliate initial 'B'(eatus vir), inhabited by men and animals. At the centre of the stem of the initial, David is sitting with his harp. At the corners of the frame, four roundels enclose figures personifying the Church and Synagogue (at the top), and Saints Peter and Paul (at the bottom). At the mid-point of the sides of the frame, two half-roundels enclose standing prophets holding scrolls. A mandorla emerges from behind the framed initial, at the mid-point of the upper and lower frames: it encloses the figure of Christ holding a book (at the top) and Christ of the Resurrection stepping out of the tomb (at the bottom).
