Its contents, which are broadly consistent with Ms. A-Gu10, include: f. 1, added later leaves with a monophonic Sanctus and Agnus; proprium de tempore f. 2-94, f. 94v-143 Proper de Sanctis, f. 143v-150v mass formulary, f. 150v-164v antiphons and hymns, f. 164v-172v Ordinaries (final incomplete, including 3 two-part Kyrie tropes (see inventory), on the rear cover an Asperges me was added later.)

The second and third polyphonic pieces were originally in AGU 10 but have been moved to this book at some point.
