Diurnal. Recto and Verso contain two columns of text each
containing 28 lines written in a fine bātarde
script with black ink and red rubrics. Double line capitals
written in alternating red and blue ink. A lovely, bright leaf. Diurnals are scripture used in the Divine Office containing only daytime offices (hours of lauds, prime, terce, sext, none, and vespers). The nighttime counterpart is the "Nocturnal."
