RISM Description
RISM B/IV 3: 14./15. Jh.; 1 Blatt Pergament, 315 x 217 mm. Verso mit originale f. XXII; recto mit jüngerer Sign.: Msc. lat. 183; verso mit älterer Sign.: J. 50. Je Seite 11 rote Fünfliniensysteme, von denen auf der Rectoseite nur 4 Systeme beschrieben sind; Mensuralnotation um 1400. - Einband: eingefaßt in modernen blauen Kartonumschlag.
Dieses als Vorsatzblatt eines Bandes der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek dienende Einzelblatt ist nach Besseler vermutlich italienischen Ursprungs und gehörte einer größeren Handschrift des späten 14. oder frühen 15. Jh. an.
[Translation] 1 parchment leaf, 315 x 217 mm. Verso with original foliation XXII; recto with a modern signature: Msc. Lat. 183; verso has an earlier signature: J. 50. Each side ruled with 11 five-line systems, four systems on the recto are written with mensural notation c. 1400. It is kept in a modern blue cardboard envelope.
The leaf was recovered from a flyleaf of another book in the same library, and according to Besseler is probably of Italian origin, and was originally part of a larger manuscript dating from the late 14th or early 15th century.
