F. 1-216 contain a 13th-century Bible. On f. 217v/218r (a double sheet with an overall size 165 x 230 mm) is a three-voice Kyrie in score (f. 217r and 218v show empty staves with texts of the 15th century overwritten). This was probably used as a cover or title page in the 15th or perhaps late 14th Century. According to R. Strohm, it comes from an English manuscript of the 14th or early 15th Century, but the whole book was written at the beginning of the 15th Century, most likely in possession of St. Vincent Ferrer († 1419 in Brittany).

RISM B/IV 4: 13./15. Jh.; 218 Blätter Pergament + 2 moderne Vorsatz- und 1 Nachstoßblatt, 165 x 115 mm. Moderne Bleistiftfoliierung von f. 1-218. - Einband: Moderne Kartondeckel.

Die Handschrift enthält von f. 1-216 im 13. Jh. geschriebene Bibeltexte (von Buch Isaias ab). Auf f. 217/218, die zusammen ein Doppelblatt vom Gesamtformat 165 x 230 mm bilden, befinden sich je Seite (quer geschrieben) 4 oder 5 Fünfliniensysteme. Auf f. 217v/218r steht ein dreistimmiges Kyrie in schwarzer Mensuralnotation des 14./15. Jh. in Partitur (f. 217r und 218v zeigen leere Notenlinien mit verschiedenen Texten des 15. Jh. überschrieben). Das vermutlich im 15. oder vielleicht schon im späten 14. Jh. als Deck- beziehungsweise als Vorsatzblatt dienende Blatt stammt nach R. Strohm vielleicht aus einer englischen Handschrift des 14. oder frühesten 15. Jh., befand sich doch der ganze Band am Anfang des 15. Jh. höchstwahrscheinlich im Besitze des hl. Vinzenz Ferrer († 1419 in der Bretagne).
