                    <summary>The Four Gospels. Each is preceded by a list of contents, which, except
                        for that to St Luke, is incomplete (though curiously the miniature
                        immediately preceding that one, on f. 134v, is also incomplete); that to St
                        Matthew has numbers for only half its length; that to St Mark has no numbers
                        and its headpiece is unfinished; and the numbers in that to St John are
                        probably later additions. Sectional numbers are provided in the margin. .
                        The Synaxarion and the Menology at the end of the MS are most likely later
                        additions.</summary>
