This is a Chic Rho page, which is the monogram for
Christ that begins the genealogy in the Christian Gospels. The
text reads XPI (Christi) AUTEM GENERATIO... It is done in an 8th
century British Isles style in an Irish Christian tradition. This
type of illustration was very common and expected in such books
of the time, but my page is not a copy of any particular one.
For an example of a similar page, please look up the Book of Kells
or the Lindisfarne Gospels.
