Abstract

The top of the text has a red rubric, Ad Tertiam, which identifies the text as Terce. The Hour of Terce follows the Hour of Prime. Terce was typically recited in the morning and illustrated with the Annunciation to the Shepherds. The opening versicle and response of Terce are the same as that of Lauds, Prime, Sext and Vespers, and they read, in translation: "Incline unto my aid, O God. Lord make haste to help me."

Decoration

Three-line opening initial with rinceaux decoration. Vine leaves and flowers in a full border defined by a bar. Line endings.
