Copied by one main scribe and four additional scribes (scribal concordances with ModD 3, 4, and 10), with later additions (ff. 94-94') by Orazio Vecchi, whose hand also appears in ModD 11 and ModD 12. Copied in Modena, for use by the cathedral choir.

XVIe s. 95 ff. Papier, 490 x 320 mm. Foliotation ancienne: 50-121 et foliotation moderne: 1-95. Dans la foliotation moderne, les ff. 67r-v et 68 sont blancs. Notation mesurée blanche. 12 portées par p. Grandes initiales ornées à la plume. Reliure moderne portant: «Restaurato dall'Ist. di Patologia del libro 1973.»

Comme le ms. III avec lequel il présente certains scribes en commun, le ms. IX se rattache à Modène où il fut certainement copié, ainsi que le montrent les 2 motets de Willaert: no 32 dédié à Geminiano, saint patron de la ville, et no 33 en l'honneur de S. Sebastiano, patron de la Mensa Comune, congrégation de religieux chanteurs, indépendante de la cathédrale. On peut distinguer 2 parties dans le ms.: I, du no 1 au no 35, Motets, section qui correspond à peu près à ce qui a survécu de l'ancienne foliotation 50-121 (= 1-70v). II, du no 36 à la fin, Lamentations et textes de carême. Ces 2 parties ont été copiées à la même époque, approximativement entre 1518 et 1531. Dans la section des motets, Mouton l'emporte avec 8 ou 9 pièces, suivi par Willaert avec 6 ou 7, tandis que pour les Lamentations, Carpentras est le mieux représenté avec 4 cycles.
