On folio 4r, I read the following:
Hemma de Husen, obiit, mater ,  “Hemma of Husen has died, Mother”
According to my research, such obituary entries do not seem to have been uncommon in psalters.
I had a hard time deciphering the word before that line as “scriptricis,” but Eggenberger will know better.
