It is composed of a series of miniatures, each accompanied by text that narrates the events of Matilda's life, including her support for the papacy and her struggles against the imperial authority of the Holy Roman Emperor. The artwork within the manuscript is characteristic of the Romanesque style, with a strong Byzantine influence that was prevalent in Italian art of the time.
