Decoration
All decoration is in the first part of the manuscript dated to 1457 and is likely to have been executed by the original scribe/rubricator. The larger initials mark the beginning of the main sections in the Jutish Law.
Seven small red initials with simple decoration, extended serifs or fillings in a second colour at ff. 35r (index of Book II), 82v , 84r (index of Book III), 104r , 104v , 106v , 108v .
Four larger 3-7-line initials in dark and light red as well as brown ink. The decoration in brown and light red ink was not originally intended but probably added by the time the scribe had reached the initial T at f. 86r, the only initial both conceptualized and executed as multicoloured.
- at f. 2r large initial (an uncial M) in red with simple filigranated decoration and a vertically extended serif decorated with short strokes; first letter in the prologue
- at f. 7r semilarge initial (B), dark red filled with light red, and surrounded by brown geometric decoration and circumscribed by a light red double frame; index of Book I
- at f. 39r large initial (S) in red with brown filigranated decoration and brown outer contour; Book II
- at f. 86r large initial (T) in red and brown with filigranated filling and inscribed in a square with geometric decoration; Book III
