IIIF Manifest
Fragments of varying size and date. The polyphonic music is on f. 44-45v, a bifolio, possibly the middle of a gathering. Except for no. 5, all the music is written in score. DittmerCl, 7 suggests that the bifolio is of English origin: the setting of 3 pieces from the Ordinary of the mass, the binary movement of no. 3, and the use of short melodic sequences as in no. 2 are significant.

RISM Description
RISM B/IV 1: A recent compilation of parchment ms fragments of varying size and date (some late pieces are on paper). The binding is of modern Bibliothèque Nationale type with parchment spine and mottled paper covers over pulp boards. Altogether there are 141 folios plus 2 modern paper flyleaves at both front and back. The polyphonic music is on f. 44-45v, a parchment bifolio of the early 14th century meas. 250 x 150 mm. It is possibly, but not certainly, the middle of a gathering. Except for no. 5, all the music is written in score. DittmerCl, 7 suggests that the bifolio is of English origin, and certainly the setting of 3 pieces from the Ordinary of the mass, the binary movement of no. 3, and the use of short melodic sequences as in no. 2 are significant. The notation belongs to the later 13th rather than the 14th century, for there are no Ars Nova traits, and even semibreves do not occur individually.
