2rIncipit liber tecius [sic]. Ex concilio affricano
Incipit: ‘Ut laici secus altare quando sacra mysteria ...’
[Illuminated frontispiece illustrating book III: A priest is depicted standing in front of an altar on which is a chalice partially covered by a cloth. He joins his hands in prayer and bows his head, as he prepares to celebrate the Eucharist. Behind him are two acolytes: the one directly behind the priest raises an aspergillum, the other grabs a layman by the shoulders and pushes him away from the altar, as he is not allowed to witness the ritual. The layman turns his head to look at the acolyte and raises his hand as a sign of acquiescence. The scene takes place inside a church, and the threshold of the sacred space is marked by two columns.]
143rIncipit liber quartus. De sponsalibus et matrimoniis
Incipit: ‘De Francia quidam nobilem mulierem ...’
[Illuminated frontispiece illustrating book IV: A priest is standing between a man and a woman, officiating their marriage. His right hand is raised and his left hand holds the bride’s right wrist, guiding her hand to join the groom’s right hand to make their union official (dextrarum iunctio). Both spouses raise their left hand to express their consent to the marriage. The scene takes place in an interior, perhaps of a church, under a trefoil arch. ]
189rIncipit liber quintus. De accusationibus et inquisitionibus et denunciationibus
Incipit: ‘Si legitimus non fuerit accusator non fatigetur ...’
[Illuminated frontispiece illustrating book V: A pope acting as a judge is depicted enthroned, under an architectural structure with a trefoil arch. His left hand holds a volume, a representation of the law he is enforcing (in this case, the Liber Extra), and his right index finger is raised, perhaps to signal that he is about to deliver a verdict. Before him stand two clerics in blue cloaks; one is holding the other by the wrist and is pointing at him, presumably to accuse him of a crime. ]
