Initials on red, purple or black, plain or with simple decorations; capitals are decorated with phytomorphic and/or zoomorphic motifs; colors used for the decoration of capitals are red, purple, blue, brown, yellow and sepia. The most striking example of the decorative type of this Missal is on folio 2 (late foliation), a capital “A”.

Inscriptions
Some marginal inscriptions.
Material
Condition of document

Good; some margins are mutilated or sewed; the folio between folios 89 and 90 (late foliation) is torn off; the quaternion XXXIII has been rebound upside down, causing its folios to be in reverse order (see "foliation" and "gathering structure" below; for reading purposes, the corresponding pictures on this database [251r ... 258v] have been rotated 180 degrees).

Foliation/Pagination

271 folios; two flyleaves at the beginning and other two at the end; lately added arabic foliation, on pencil, from 1 to 267; original roman foliation, which begins on second folio, has some inconsistencies (absence, interpolation and repetition), especially between folios 1 and 27; because of the upside down rebinding of the quaternion XXXIII, its original roman foliation appears in reverse order, but the late arabic foliation (fols. 251-258) is posterior to this rebinding, being thus in accordance to the reverse order (see "condition of document" above).

Remarks

Folio 1 of Arabic numbering is an addition, although contemporary to the main body of the codex; folio 17v (late foliation) contains prayers added by 15th century hand; a sequence for Sancta Marina, popular in Galicia, León and several other Spanish locations from the 10th-11th centuries, was added on folio 75v (late foliation) around 1300. The Monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos, where the cult of St. Marina was known, has been proposed as a possible origin for this MS. However, according to Ferreira (2022), Astorga, a suffragan of Braga, was under Portuguese influence during most of the 12th century, and the connection of Santa Marina del Rey with the bishops of Astorga from 1172 onwards (Fuertes Pérez 2010) allowed for the development of its devotion there. The likely northern French origin of the first Roman-Frankish bishop of Astorga (Henriet 2016) and the presence in the cathedral of an important chapel dedicated to the saint (established by Martín González, bishop between 1285 and 1301), would together explain both the odd choice of feasts in the Sanctorale (Boudeau 2016) and the late prominence given to St. Marina in the manuscript.
