Each Epistle has a good initial to Preface, and two more to text and gloss. The smaller initials to each verse as usual.

2 Thess. (f.92b). Bust of Paul with red nimbus, blessing.
1 Tim. (f.99). Half-length angel with many-coloured wings.
Heb. has only a medium-sized initial to the text and none to the gloss.
