Illuminated with a large miniature (10 x 9 cm) depicting a canon kneeling in front of a saint (an unidentified bishop with a staff: the patron saint of his chapter?, his patron saint?) in a corridor opening onto the countryside within a three-quarter border in the style of the Ghent-Bruges School depicting flowers, a bird and a butterfly on a yellow background. A blue unidentified coat of arms with stars and the letter A is hanging in the border.
