Contains mostly Marian hymns and sequences in Latin, with Marienklagen in the German language. The term 'Antiphona' in the book refers generally to songs or processional chants. With one exception (No. 14), the polyphony of the items referred to in the inventory is controversial. It can be assumed that, just as in D-TR322 some older Motet works of the 15th-century were sung monophonically. Thus the respective rubrics 'Antiphona' may often indicate a very different transcription of the pieces which have problematic harmonies and lack rests. Written in 1430 in the Benedictine abbey of Tegernsee, and was moved to the Bavarian State Library in 1790.

RISM Description
RISM BIV/3: 15. Jh.; 205 Blätter Papier, 212 x 155 mm. Moderne Foliierung von f. 1-205; ältere kanzellierte Foliierung sowie originale Numerierung der Faszikel (18 Faszikels + 2 vorangesetzte Doppelblätter). Je Seite 7, ab f. 170 9, später 8 Vierliniensysteme mit gotischer Choralnotation (zum Teil mit mensuralen Elementen). - Einband: mit weißem Leder überzogene Holzdeckel mit Blindpressung; Schließen und Beschläge fehlen.
Diese nach J. E. Emerson um 1430 in der Benediktinerabtei Tegernsee geschriebene und von 1790 an in der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek aufbewahrte Handschrift enthält vorwiegend Marienlieder und -sequenzen in lateinischer, aber auch in deutscher Sprache (Marienklagen). Der in der Handschrift oft begegnende Terminus „Antiphona" bezeichnet hier ganz allgemein Lieder beziehungsweise Prozessionsgesänge. Mit einer Ausnahme (Nr. 14) ist die Mehrstimmigkeit der im Incipitverzeichnis genannten Stücke umstritten. Es ist anzunehmen, daß, ähnlich wie zum Beispiel in D-TR322, einzelne ältere Motettenstimmen im 15. Jh. einstimmig gesungen worden sind. Daraufhin weisen die jeweiligen Rubriken „Antiphona“, die oft sehr unterschiedliche Ausdehnung der Stücke, die oft problematischen Zusammenklänge und das Fehlen von Pausen.
Inhalt: f. 1-4v Speculum musicae (nach Aristoteles und Boethius), Lieder, Benedicamus domino; f. 5-149v Marienlieder und -sequenzen und ähnlich; f. 150-154 Marienklagen; f. 154-205v Lieder und Sequenzen für verschiedene Feste.
