The initial B depicts the battle of Michael with the dragon. The miniaturist follows the tradition of the Sienese Trecento (Simone Martini).

The liturgical manuscripts from the 14th century (Graduals, Antiphones etc.) belong to the greatest treasures of the Cathedral of Siena. The page presented here is a cutting from a dispersed Gradual.
