Polyphony on front and back flyleaves. These leaves, which are now glued inside front and back covers, are apparently the only surviving remnants of a Mass choirbook. Probably copied in northern Italy. Note in modern hand on first folio of main corpus indicates manuscript was once at Marienberg Benedictine monastery (near present Malles Venosta).
