Ms. assez semblable au précédent pour qu'on puisse en attribuer la copie à Giordano Pasetto, mais à une date plus avancée dans sa carrière à Padoue, si l'on en juge par le répertoire plus jeune avec des compositeurs comme Gombert, Hesdin, Manchicourt ou Morales. Les concordances s'établissent d'ailleurs surtout avec le ms. de Cambrai 125-128 daté de 1542 et aussi avec les 13 Livres de motets d'Attaingnant (1534-35).
