This liturgical book (an evangelistary) contains the pericopes (extracts from the gospels)read out during mass in the course of the church year. The 127 folios are illustrated with six full-page miniatures as well as ornamental decoration used for frames, initials and decorative pages. The manuscript was probably presented to Saint-Sernin in Toulouse by Charlemagne's son, Louis I the Pious (reigned 813-840).
The full-page miniature on folio 3v represenets the source of life.
