Decoration: This manuscript was produced in Rheims (France)
probably before the consecration of Ebbo as archbishop of Rheims in
815. Its decoration was still influenced by Merovingian manuscripts
combining Insular and Continental patterns including interlace and
zoomorphic decoration, according to Denoël, Trésors Carolingiens
(2007). One full-page miniature in ink and colours (f. 71v). Large
initial in brown and colours, with interlace and geometric patterns
and often animal head decoration or animals at the beginning of
each epistle. Initials in brown with penwork decoration, some also
with green and red. Large letters in brown, on red or yellow
backgrounds. Text in red, sometimes with a yellow wash.
