Flowers and insects depicted as if strewn on top of a colored ground decorate this border and those of many other Flemish manuscripts from the early 1500s. This text, devoted to the tablet bearing Christ's name that was attached to the cross, faces a scene of angels presenting the tablet to the viewer.
