XVe s. 84 ff. Papier, 150 x 100 mm. Foliotation moderne au haut des ff. Les ff. 27 et 34 chiffrés 2 fois. Les ff. 46v, 47, 62v, 63, 64v, 65, 68 - à la fin sont blancs. Notation mesurée blanche. 6 portées par p. Aux ff. 1-16, ouvrages théoriques musicaux. Les paroles supplémentaires au bas des ff. ont certaines lettres rubriquées. Les initiales mq. et restent quelquefois problématiques.
Le 1er f. porte: «Esto libro è di Doria Rabia», ce qui identifie l'un des premiers possesseurs de ce chansonnier avec un membre de l'une des familles nobles de Cuneo. C'est peut-être même dans cette région frontière que fut compilé le ms., ce qui expliquerait l'orthographe à peu près correcte aussi bien des textes français (32 chansons) que des textes italiens (7 chansons). Le répertoire suggère les années 1460 pour la copie, date que corrobore au moins l'un des filigranes (gant) qui caractérise des papiers italiens de la fin du XVe siècle. Les ouvrages théoriques aux 1ers ff. sont décrits par P. Fischer (cf. Bibliographie).

Pointed out that 'Vive quy amoureux sera' (on fols. 54v-55r) is in all probability the second part of a bergerette,as suggested by Schavran (1978).
