Illuminated miniatures, initials, and borders on ff. 3'-4 are work of Vincent Raymond (LlorM); other folios have inked calligraphic initials.

RISM Description
RISM
XVIe s. 195 ff. + 2 ff. limin. Papier (ff. l, 2 sur parchemin), 650 x 460 mm. Foliotation ancienne à la marge dr. des ff. qqfois. rognée par le relieur, et foliotation ajoutée au bas des ff. Le 2e f. limin, les ff. 1, 92v, 195v sont blancs. Notation mesurée blanche. 10 portées par p. Au 1er f. limin. Table du ms. Grandes initiales enluminées par Vincent Raymond aux ff. lv et 2. Reliure du XVIII s.
Pour ce ms. copié par Johannes Parvus, la figure de Paul III accompagnée de l'inscription: «Paulus III Pont. Max. Anno V.» dans les capitales du Sup. et du B au f. 1v, date la copie de 1539. Alors que Kast [MGG XI, col. 751 f] le considérait comme perdu pour la recherche, une restauration récente en a rendu la lecture moins difficile, mais le dépouillement suivant datant de l'état antérieur du ms., les incipit musicaux ont été rétablis d'après d'autres sources. On a suivi la politique de A. Main et de A. Seay qui considèrent que toutes les pièces sont de Costanzo Festa.
