This historiated initial S opens the text Si oblitus fuero tui, alleluia, obliviscatur... the response to the first nocturn for the 4th Sunday after Easter. As writers elsewhere have already noted, the present leaf can be identified as an element of an important antiphonary which was dismantled during the Napoleonic period, of which eleven further leaves have been conserved in the collection of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, and various European private collections.
