A Byzantine-style full-page illumination depicting the feast of Pentecost. At the top center, a blue semi-circle representing the heavens emits twelve rays of light that descend upon the heads of the apostles below. Twelve apostles are seated in a semi-circular arrangement on a golden background. They are depicted with halos and dressed in various colored tunics and mantles; several hold scrolls or codices. Architectural structures with red fabric hangings are visible in the upper background behind the apostles. At the bottom center, framed within a dark arch, stands an elderly, crowned figure representing "Cosmos" the personification of the world. He is dressed in red royal robes and holds a white cloth containing twelve scrolls, which symbolize the apostolic preaching to the nations of the world. The entire miniature is framed by a simple red border on a gold-leaf ground.
