The Missa on f. 74v-88 is the same as the one in I-Rvat, MS Pal. lat. 1982 ("Illayre" in V-CVbav, MS Pal. lat. 1982, daté de 1513-1523, f. 131-140, "Hylaire" in V-CVbav, CS 16, daté de 1512-1517, f. 74v-88.) Most unlikely by Hilaire Penet, 'Hilaire' may be Hilaire Turluron (who is in Rome at that time). [Cross-reference to Turluron added.]
