Ff. 223-225 are apparently the only surviving remnants of a choirbook whose folios originally measured c. 330 x 215, later trimmed for use as flyleaves in present volume.

DIAMM Note
Cuthbert (p. 287) numbers the folios containing music separately as f. 1r to f. 3v. The numbering here follows the foliation in the manuscript, and this inventory excludes the blank staves that Cuthbert lists for f. 2r-v and f. 3v.

Diese Handschrift aus der 1. Hälfte des 15. Jh. enthält medizinische Traktate.

(328 x 170 mm) Das ursprüngliche Format der vermutlich zur gleichen italienischen Handschrift des frühen 15. Jh. gehörenden Blätter betrug ca. 330 x 215 mm. Alle 3 Blätter sind schlecht erhalten und nur teilweise lesbar. Auf dem relativ am besten erhaltenen und wenig beschnittenen f. 225 stehen 11 rote Fünfliniensysteme mit schwarzer Mensuralnotation. Das stark beschnittene Doppelblatt f. 223/224 zeigt auch rote Noten (zur Abhebung der Stimmen) sowie die Bezeichnung D=Duo und C= Chorus. f. 224 und 225v sind leer.
