Part 1 (f. 1-77), is an early and incomplete Graduale; part 2 (f. 78-99) is closely related to I-AO17 (perhaps a partial copy of I-AO17). Contents: Part 1: f. 1-55r proprium; f. 55v-58 Kyriale; f. 59r-76v sequences; f. 77r / v Sanctus-Tropes. - Part 2: f. 78r-82v Benedicamus collection; f. 83r-85v bilingual Christmas carols, f. 86-99 Kyriale (4 ordinary cycles). f. 143v-145 Marian antiphons. From Aosta - perhaps from the cathedral. Discovered by F. Ll. Harrison in 1963.

f. 95-97 are fragmentary

modern, colourful and exaggerated cardboard cover with parchment back.

Square, with mensural elements on fols. 83-85. The upper parts are notated with black marks and red text, whereas the bottom notes are notated with red and black text is displayed.

Harrison dated the handwriting of f. 78-99 to be from the middle of the 14th Century, Fischer to the late 14th and probably a little later than I-AO17.

12 four-line systems per page with red F-line (f. 1–77); red four-line systems (f. 78 onwards)

Modern foliation 1-99; old foliation of f. XXXII-CIV (= modern f. 1-65).

RISM B/IV 4: 13./14. Jh.; 99 Blätter Pergament (f. 95-97 nur fragmentarisch erhalten), 298 x 195 mm Moderne Bleistiftfoliierung von f. 1-99; alte Foliierung von f. XXXII-CIV (= moderne f. 1-65).

Diese von F. Ll. Harrison 1963 entdeckte Handschrift besteht aus zwei verschiedenartigen Teilen: 1. f. 1-77 Graduale des 13. Jh. (Anfang unvollständig), 2. f. 78-99 eng verwandt mit I-AO17 (vielleicht Teilabschrift von I-AO17). Bei den mehrstimmigen Stücken sind die Oberstimmen mit schwarzen Noten und rotem Text, die Unterst. mit roten Noten und schwarzem Text notiert. Harrison datiert diesen Teil der Handschrift in die Mitte des 14. Jh., v. Fischer spätes 14. Jh. und wohl etwas später als I-AO17. Jedenfalls aber stammt auch diese Handschrift aus Aosta - vielleicht aus der Kathedrale.

Inhalt: 1. Teil: f. 1-55r Proprium; f. 55v-58 Kyriale; f. 59r-76v Sequenzen; f. 77r/v Sanctus-Tropus. - 2. Teil: f. 78r-82v Benedicamus-Sammlung; f. 83r-85v zum Teil gemischtsprachige Weihnachtslieder; f. 86-99 Kyriale (4 Ordinariumszyklen).

This manuscript was discovered by F. Ll. Harrison in 1963 and consists of two different parts: Part 1 f. 1-77, is a Graduale of the 13th Century (early, incomplete), Part 2 f. 78-99 is closely related to I-AO17 (perhaps a partial copy of I-AO17). In the polyphonic pieces, the upper parts are notated with black marks and red text, whereas the bottom notes are notated with red and black text is displayed. Harrison dated this part of the handwriting to be from the middle of the 14th Century, Fischer to the late 14th and probably a little later than I-AO17. In any case, this manuscript also came from Aosta - perhaps from the cathedral.

Contents: Part 1: f. 1-55r proprium; f. 55v-58 Kyriale; f. 59r-76v sequences; f. 77r / v Sanctus-Tropes. - Part 2: f. 78r-82v Benedicamus collection; f. 83r-85v bilingual Christmas carols, f. 86-99 Kyriale (4 ordinary cycles). f. 143v-145 Marian antiphons.
