Psalter.
| The titles and the numbering of the Psalms and Odes are written in gold. There are some decorative friezes (ff. 1r, 77r, 196r, 344r) and some miniatures (ff. 39v, 343r-v). The manuscript also has some marginal notes (i.e ff. 363v, 365v, 378v). The codex has been damaged probably due to water infiltrations. The handwriting is no longer visible in some folios (i.e., ff. 379r, 384v, 389r).
