Psalm 089 (Vulg., 088):
Female figure, veiled, exchanges glances with male figure, both with hands joined in prayer.
Figures against gold background within decorated initial M with foliate extension.
In upper margin, bird perches on initial M, and hybrid animal, with body of wingless dragon and foliate tail, bites its own foot.
