b) Front and back cover fragment. A bifolium of non-consecutive
leaves, of which f. (1) is pasted to f. (2)v of the fragment (a), used for
the front cover; f. (2) is used for the back cover. Both leaves are very
damaged. The written space of f. (2) now measures c. 16x12 cm, but
it has several horizontal creases, and originally must have measured c.
17/19 cm between the upper and lower margins. It has 23 long lines to
the page. Prickings for ruling are visible in the outer margin of the
whole leaf.
Date: fourteenth century, probably second half. Rubrics and verse-
initials, placed in the body of the text, are in red; the initial of ps. 101
spåns seven lines, seemingly in the usual scroll-pattem. See Plate 120.
Contents:
F. (1), the visible side: Part of ps. 88, 3-16 (lac.)
F. (2)r: The end of the second prayer after ps. 100, and the third
prayer. Ps. 101, 1-8
F. (2)v: Ps. 101, 8-23

Copenhagen MS AM 241b Ib fol. (see Kålund, AM 1, pp. 211-12).
This fragment consists of only the first leaf of a psalter; however, it
does contain the characteristic Suscipe-prayer of our Pater Noster
Psalter and should therefore be included in the group.
The first line of text is missing, and the outer margin has been
trimmed very close to the text. The written space measures 16,5
(17)Xl2(12,5) cm, and is divided into two columns, with 25
(originally 26) lines to the page. The script very much resembles that
of MS A.
Date: fourteenth century, second quarter. The rubrics are in red.
Each psalm-verse begins on a new line, with a verse-initial in red,
placed in the margin or between the columns. Ps. 2 has a 3-line initial;
that of ps. 1 spåns 13 lines in foliageous scroll-work, sprouting from a
beast’s mouth, in the same style as that of MS B, and also on blue
ground, in red, blue, yellow. See Plates 122-123.
Contents:
F.(l)r: Versicles and Suscipe-prayer, proffered by ‘ego miser pec-
cator’. At the end of this prayer, probably added in the same hånd, is
