The historiated letter <em>R</em> begins the text <em>Resurrexi, et adhuc tecum sum, alleluia</em> (I arose, and am still with you, alleluia). Within the upper register of the initial, the artist represents the three women named Mary, mentioned in the gospels, who discovered Christ\u2019s empty tomb. In the lower register, a scene known simply as <em>noli me tangere</em> (touch me not), recounts the appearance of Christ to Mary Magdalene following the Resurrection. When she recognized him, he asked that she not touch him but go to the disciples with the message that he was now risen.",
