Copied by two or more scribes; first and fifth fascicles in same hand. First and last fascicles as presently constituted (containing mainly works by Matteo da Perugia) apparently adjacent to each other at earlier time. Copied in Bologna (fascicles 2-4) and Milan (fascicles 1 and 5) (GüntMM, who disputes other proposed provenances of Pavia, Pisa, or papal court at Avignon). Possibly owned by Este family of Ferrara since 15th century (PirrE). Este family library transferred to Modena in 1598; joined to Modena university library in 1892.
Eighteenth-century covers of brown blind-tooled leather replaced in 1966-7 by new covers of blue leather decorated in gold
Black full mensural with red full, red void, and black void coloration
GüntMM rejects ApelFM's dating of 1425-50, PirrE's dating of 1420-30 for later fascicles, and ClercxJC's late 14th century dating for earlier fascicles
9 or 10 five-line staves per page
a, 1-50, z; covers and boards (Stone 2005)
Some original foliation remains; three other numbering systems: (1) older foliation, 1-51 (omits first folio); (2) newer foliation, 1-52; (3) modern pagination, 2-103, by A. G. Spinelli.
Plain red inked initials in fascicles 1 and 5; red and blue inked initials with some filigree work in fascicle 4. Fascicles 2 and 3 more elaborately decorated, with five miniatures, painted initials (mostly pale rose on gold and blue grounds), and borders ornamented with gold dots and floral motifs; style of decoration resembles work of Niccolo di Giacomo of Bologna (1330-1402) and his school (GüntMM; FavaM I, 44-5).
i paper + 52 parchment + i paper
DIAMM foliation follows that of the modern facsimile edition by Ernesto Milano: the first folio is numbered a, beginning with 1 only after that. The pencil folio numbers in the manuscript (bottom, inner corner) begim at 1, hence are one higher than those on DIAMM.
RISM B/IV 4: 15. Jh.; 52 Blätter Pergament + je 1 Papier Vorsatz- und Nachstoßblätter, 278 x 200 mm. Verschiedene Foliierung (näheres bei Pirrotta): 1. Alte Foliierung von f. 6-10 (nach Incipitverzeichnis f. 2-6), f. 1-5 (nach Incipitverzeichnis f. 42-46), f. 11-40 (nach Incipitverzeichnis f. 12-41); 2. Foliierung von f. 1-51 (von Apel und Pirrotta benutzt); 3. Foliierung von f. 1-52 (von Wolf und im folgenden Incipitverzeichnis benutzt); 4. Pag. (von A. G. Spinelli) von p. 2-103. Auf f. 2-11, 42-51 je 10 Fünfliniensysteme, von f. 12-41 je 9 Fünfliniensysteme mit schwarzer, schwarz-roter und schwarz-weißer Mensuralnotation um 1400. - Einband: 2. Hälfte 18. Jh.; braunes Leder mit Blindpressung und Rücken mit Goldinschrift Hymni. Auf der Verso-Seite des Vorsatzblätter von jüngerer Hand: "Liber continens hymnos et alia ecclesiastica aliaque non ecclesiastica".
Diese aus Oberitalien stammende Handschrift besteht aus 5 Faszikeln sowie je einem vorn und hinten hinzugefügten Pergament-Blätter (f. 1 und 52). Wie die älteste Foliierung (siehe oben 1.) und die Schrift zeigen, gehörten die Faszikeln 1 und 5 (f. 2-11 und 42-51) ursprünglich zusammen. Sie enthalten vorwiegend Werke von M. de Perusio († um 1418). Die vermutlich älteren Faszikeln 2-4 (f. 12-41) zeigen im Unterschied zu Faszikeln 1 und 5 zudem Initialen auf Goldgrund. Herkunftsort und Datierung der Handschrift sind umstritten. Pirrotta datiert Faszikeln 2-4: Bologna 1409-1414, den 1. und 5. Faszikeln: 1420-1430; Apel: ganze Handschrift 1425-1450; Sartori: Pavia um 1406; Clercx: Faszikel 2-4 vielleicht noch 14. Jh.; v. Fischer: Faszikel 2-4 zwischen 1400 und 1410, Faszikeln 1 und 5 zwischen 1410 und 1420.

Folio numbering is outdated. The commonly used folio numbering is based on that used by Anne Stone in her monograph on ModA from 2005, as well as in the facsimile edition by LIM. That foliation starts with fol. av., 1r, 1v .... and ends with 50v, zr, zv; it corresponds to your fol 1v, 2r, 2v .... to 51v, 52r, 52v
