General Description
Physical Description
55 folios were torn from the MS. at its opening; paper remnants between folios 10 and 11 also suggest inconsistencies in the ordering of the folios, as well as further missing folios, f. 18 belonging before f. 11 but containing also the end of an otherwise missing Magnificat. Fols 21-29 contain doodling from the 18th and 19th centuries, probably made by children
Binding
Modern parchment binding
Watermark
Latin cross in an elongated circle; 7-pointed star
Notation

Foliation
Modern foliation 1-84 (used here); older pencil foliation from f. 24 onwards 80-139, (showing that modern f.1 would have been f.56). f. 4v-6 blank.
