The borders throughout this manuscript are decorated
with vines, berries, flowers, leaves and odd squiggles and shapes. Each page of text has 14 or 15 lines with a
border of just over an inch wide. The
calendar and full pages of decoration do not have borders but the colors are
bright and vibrant. Gold leaf is used
throughout the book as embellishments in the incipit, explicit, borders and
full page illuminations. Gold was always
applied first to prevent sticking to pigments.
