Titles of the psalms are rubricated in bright red; initials decorated in yellow and orange, and sometimes in yellow, orange and green (e.g. f. 29v). Glosses in Latin and Greek placed in the margins; modern annotations (f. 99r) and some probationes calami (ff. 98r, 99r); several misspellings in Greek.
