The biblical text is prefaced by the Interpretationes nominum hebraicorum (f. 2r-27r), attributed to Jerome in the Middle Ages, and the apocryphal Prayer of Manasseh (f. 27v), attributed to Solomon in its rubric. The Prayer of Manasseh more commonly appeared at the end of 2 Chronicles, where in this Bible a rubric (f. 163r) directs the reader to the prayer's location. The biblical text is followed by a calendar of the Church year (f. 400v-401v), a missal (f. 402v-420v), including the ordinary from the canon through the communion and propers for Sundays and feasts throughout the year, and a breviary (f. 421r-458v), with nine lessons for major feasts, so not for a monastic context. The manuscript also includes a table of Epistle and Gospel incipits (f. 460r-462v), which is a later addition.Catholic Church -- LiturgyCatholic ChurchLiturgicsIllumination of books and manuscripts -- SpecimensIllumination of books and manuscriptsSpecimensBiblesDevotional calendarsIlluminated manuscriptsMissalsCodicesManuscripts LatinManuscripts MedievalBiblical StudiesCatholic StudiesMedieval StudiesArticle
