| 1r | [Papal bull "Rex pacificus".] |
| Incipit: ‘Gregorius episcopus servus servorum dei ...’ |
| [Illuminated frontispiece illustrating the papal bull: Pope Gregory IX is depicted enthroned inside an architectural structure with columns and pointed arches. He raises his right index finger to address the people in front of him and with his left hand he grasps (or perhaps hands over) a volume. The volume is offered to him by a kneeling Dominican friar, presumably to be identified with Raymond de Peñafort. Behind Raymond stand another Dominican and a tonsured cleric. On the opposite side of the throne stand three men addressing the Pope with hand gestures, probably to be identified with jurists because of their clothing (hat, fur-lined cloaks): their presence represents the university community to which the collection of laws is also addressed.] |

| Incipit: ‘Innocentius tertius in concilio generali ...’ |
| De summa trinitate et fide catholica |

| [Illuminated frontispiece illustrating book II: A secular judge is depicted enthroned in a central position, visually suggesting his impartiality in the administration of justice. He holds an open book in his lap, pointing to the exact law he is about to enforce. On either side of the throne are four people, the most central of whom are probably the lawyers of the two parties. Both of them address the judge by raising an index finger. The scene takes place in an architectural structure with pointed arches and columns dividing the space into sections, each occupied by a person. ] |
| 141r | Incipit liber tercius de vita et honestate clericorum |
| Incipit: ‘Ex concilio maguntino. Ut layci secus altare ...’ |
| [Illuminated frontispiece illustrating book III: Inside a church, a priest is depicted standing in front of an altar. He elevates his right hand in a blessing gesture (index and middle fingers raised) as he grasps a chalice partially covered by a cloth, preparing to celebrate the ritual of the Eucharist. Behind him, an acolyte raises his index finger to warn two lay people not to approach the altar, as they are allowed to witness the ritual. On the opposite side of the altar stand three more men, perhaps identifiable as jurists by their attire (hat, fur-lined cloaks). They all raise their index finger in response to the priest’s blessing. The church interior has a row of pointed arches and columns dividing the space into sections, each occupied by a person. ] |

| Incipit: ‘Ex concilio triburiense. De Francia quidam nobilem ...’ |
| [Illuminated frontispiece illustrating book IV: A priest is standing between a man and a woman, officiating their marriage. He holds them by their right wrists, preparing to join their hands to make their union official (dextrarum iunctio). Both spouses are escorted by members of their party, namely three people each. The scene takes place in an architectural structure with pointed arches and columns dividing the space into sections, each occupied by a person. ] |
| 229r | Incipit liber quintus. De accusationibus inquisitionibus et denunciationibus |
| Incipit: ‘Si legittimus non fuerit accusator ...’ |
| [Illuminated frontispiece illustrating book V: A pope acting as a judge is depicted enthroned in a central position, visually suggesting his impartiality in the administration of justice. He holds a volume in his lap, a visualisation of the laws he enforces (in this case, those contained in the Liber Extra). On either side of the throne are three tonsured people, the most central of whom are probably the lawyers of the two parties. The one on the left addresses the judge by raising an index finger, while the other points to the ground. The scene takes place in an architectural structure with pointed arches and columns dividing the space into sections, each occupied by a person.] |
