The picture shows folio 131r. It contains a half-page historiated initial M depicting the Crucifixion of St Andrew above the text, which has a small decorative initial T in red.
Saint Andrew was sentenced to die by the Roman proconsul Aegeas for preaching Christianity. He was tied to the cross with ropes instead of nails to prolong his suffering. Andrew preached to the crowd for two days while on the cross.
The folio contains embroidered repairs.
