- Description
- The spaces left for illustrations in this ms, when correlated with the text immediately surrounding them, can rather easily be mentally completed with illustrations of the action of TC or with portrayals of court scenes of the readings of the poem similar to the ms's frontispiece. The total spaces are as follows: 6 initials, 2 explicit-incipit breaks, and 93 textual spaces, often at regular intervals.
