An extremely small volume containing a single two voice Stimmtausch composition, “Quy nos fecit ex nichilo”, towards the end of the Kyriale on ff. 10v-11r. The text is often called a “Benedicamus trope,” although textually it is also closely related to the Benedicamus versicles of the Aquitanian repertory. Works on the same text appear in Las Huelgas, Venice 145, and other manuscripts.
