Part II: Plain initials and headings in red throughout., Presented by Otto Rauschberg in 1956 to Thomas E. Marston., and Script: Parts I and III (ff. 1-72 and 113-136): Copied by multiple scribes in small gothic bookhand, with first letter of each verse usually aligned on the second vertical bounding line.
