Aux ff. 1 du C et du T et au dernier f. du T, armes des Massimo. Capitales ornées à la plume. Reliures anciennes, cuir brun estampé de rinceaux d'or et portant: C/Antonius Maximus et T/Antonius Maximus. Les autres vol. mq.
Ces 2 vol., Cantus et Tenor, ont seuls survécu d'un ms. probablement en 4 livres. Copiés vraisemblablement par un scribe de la Vaticane entre 1532 et 1534, ils présentent beaucoup d'affinités avec les mss romains Rv 35-40 et RvatXII,4. Ils font partie maintenant de la collection du Prince Massimo à Rome.
