Folio 1r Translation
'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth
was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said,
Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it
was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called
the light Day and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the
morning were the first day' (Genesis, 1: 1-5). |

lucem a tenebris.\ Appellavitque lucem diem, et tenebras noctem.
