The remnants of a single manuscript, the original size of which cannot be determined; nor can the original order of the extant folios be established. The vernacular pieces were added by other copyists; thus the original manuscript was apparently devoted to Mass sections. Probably copied at St. Giustina Benedictine Abbey in Padua.

One folio now in Hanover, N.H. (Dartmouth MS 2387); see also the reconstruction of the fragments.

All folios have been trimmed from an original size of ca. 450 x 280, with loss of composer attributions, original foliation, and up to two staves of music at top of each folio. There is quite a lot of chemical offset: the MS may thus contain imprints of pieces that were on folios now lost, or it may establish the original order of the folios.

closely resembles Briquet #11695.

Mostly black full and black full/red mensural; black void on fol. 4v; square on folio 1.

13 folios. Modern foliation. 10 red 5-line staves per page. there is quite a lot of chemical offset. The importance of this is that it may contain imprints of pieces that were on folios now lost, or it may establish the original order of the folios.

RISM B/IV 4: 15. Jh.; 13 Blätter Papier, ca. 314 x 218 mm (oben und seitlich beschnitten); ursprüngliches Format ca. 450 x 280 mm. Moderne Foliierung von f. 1-13. Je Seite 10 rote Fünfliniensysteme, von denen das oberste meist ganz oder teilweise weggeschnitten ist, mit schwarzer und schwarz-roter (f. 4v auch schwarz-hohler) Mensuralnotation (f. 1r Quadratnotation). Wasserzeichen: Dreiberge mit Kreuz.

Die 13 als Einbandkarton eines Buches benutzten Blätter wurden der Bibliothek der Abtei im Jahre 1966 von Giorgio Liguori (Medizinstudent an der Universität Rom), der sie aus dem Nachlaß seines Onkels übernommen hatte, geschenkt. 1968 wurden die Fragmente in Grottaferrata restauriert. Die im ersten Drittel des 15. Jahrhunderts nach U. Günther vielleicht in S. Giustina in Padua geschriebene Handschrift muß ursprünglich ein umfangreiches geistlich-weltliches Repertoire umfaßt haben, da schon allein mindestens 6 Folios zwischen den erhaltenen Blättern fehlen. Die originale Reihenfolge der Folios kann nicht mehr mit Sicherheit rekonstruiert werden. Die im folgenden Incipitverzeichnis vorgelegte Anordnung folgt den Vorschlägen von O. Strunk und U. Günther. Leer sind f. 7r, 9r, 11r und 13v.

13 paper folios, ca. 314 x 218. All folios have been trimmed from an original size of ca. 450 x 280, with loss of composer attributions, original foliation, and up to two staves of music at top of each folio. Modern foliation, 1-13. No covers or index remain; the 13 folios are the remnants of a single manuscript, but it is impossible to determine its original extent. The original order of these remaining folios cannot be determined with certainty. The vernacular pieces were added by other copyists; thus the original manuscript was apparently devoted to Mass sections. Watermark closely resembles Briquet #11695.

Ca. 1415. Copied at St. Giustina Benedictine Abbey in Padua.
