Notes

Description

In Psalms, strings of words were missing, but were then inserted above the line or after the line by the same scribe. These additional words (often ten or twelve in a row) are written in the same hand, but smaller.
Text in black ink. Beginning of each chapter, title of the chapter, and names of God, Mary, and the angels in red ink.
Layout: One column per page, 21 lines of text per page.
The manuscripts composed in eighteen quieres

Provenance

On p. 1, there is writing and a very crude pencil drawing which says "this is the seal (of) Dejazmach Emru." On p. 3, someone tried to erase the writing that said "this psalter is for Dejazmach Emru."
