The first plate represents the Trinity surrounded by saints. It is signed C.C. and is not part of the same sequence as the other plates in the volume.
The main sequence of plates have biblical texts running along the top, then an image occupying most of the plate, and a description in Latin below. The sequence seems complete: the final plate ends with the names of some martyrs after the reign of Huneric in Germany, Hungary, Russia, England and Bohemia.
