Notes

• Initial R with the Three Mary's at the tomb
   
• This initial begins the Introit for Easter Sunday, 'Resurrexi, et adhuc tecum sum ...' (I have risen, and I am still with you). As it is told in the Gospels, the morning after Christ's burial, three women came to the tomb and discovered that his body was gone. Mark identifies these women as Mary, the mother of James, Mary Magdalene, and Mary Salome: the three Marys. Their discovery is the first sign of the Resurrection mentioned in the Gospels.
   
• This side of the leaf, the true verso, continues the text of the Introit for Easter Sunday begun on the front. Much of the roman numeral in the left margin has been trimmed away, but it was once meant to indicate the original folio number.
   
• Initial L with a Bishop saint
   
• This initial begins the Introit 'Laudate pueri dominum ...' (Praise, ye servants, praise the Lord), and is one of three alternative Introits, probably for the Common of Many Confessors or a Confessor Bishop. The roman numeral in the left margin indicates that this was once fol. 87.
   
• This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains the end of the Introit, 'Audiam quid loquitur in me ...' and the beginning of the Introit, 'Iudicant sancti gentes ...,' which continues on the front.
   
• Initial O with a Confessor saint
   
• This initial begins the Introit for the Common of One Confessor, 'Os iusti mediabitur sapientiam ...' (The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom).
   
• This side of the leaf, the true verso, continues the Introit for the Common of One Confessor, which begins on the front. The roman numeral in the left margin indicates that this was once fol. 123.
   
• Initial R with a Funeral scene
   
• This initial begins the Introit for the Mass of the Dead, 'Requiem eternum dona eis Domine ...' (Lord, grant them eternal rest). The roman numeral in the left margin indicates that this was once fol. 143.
   
• This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains the Offertory for the Dedication of a Church, 'Domine deus in simplicitate cordis mei laetus obtuli universa ...' (Lord God, with the simplicity of my heart, I have made all these offerings)
   
• These cuttings can be dated to ca. 1300.
