James, M.R. (1895) A descriptive catalogue of the manuscripts in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge University Press . Manuscript no 62.

On the left is a tower, and a well in a grass-plot. There is in the architecture a figure of the Synagogue leaning on a broken reed. Two men look out of a window at the next scene, viz. on L. The Marriage of Mary and Joseph, by a priest in tiara: three men watching. On R., the Presentation of the Virgin : the high-priest and another at the top of the steps, the parents below.
