Copied by one main scribe; three or four further scribes added minor sections. Entry by the main scribe on fol. 52r: Scriptum per me Desiderium Johannis, Clericum Aesteñ. The manuscript is in two sections: I, ff. 1-52 (6 Masses); II, ff. 53-69 (all other pieces). The varying rastrations and folio layouts suggest different stages in the MS’s production. Though Angles & CCM suggest different dates and origins for the two distinct parts, with part II being Spanish in origin, the paper & watermark is the same throughout, and Desiderium copied one motet in part II (ff. 67-68). This may suggest an Italian origin for the whole (Fabregas2016), although two of the lesser scribes use Spanish designations for the voice-parts.
