Summary:

Central bifolium of a gathering with the continuous text of John 6.61-7.4, with gloss, from a Bible written in northern France in the first half or middle of the 13th century. Each page is laid out in two columns of 43 lines of gloss, ruled lightly in ink; Bible text, when it is present, is in the left half of one or both columns, twice the size of the gloss text. Written in a rapid but legible gothic script. Marginal pricking visible at both edges of each leaf. One large puzzle initial P in red and blue at the beginning of Chapter 7; smaller initials and running heads in red and blue, rubrics and capitals touched with red.
