A Gradual (de tempore et de sanctis) of Cistercian origin with musical additions on the 3 flyleaves. The Alleluia on f. 182v looks polyphonic, though the first voice is written by a different hand from the second and is on red staves which vary in number. This MS is apparently from St. Urban.

RISM Description
RISM B/IV 2: A 14th century parchment Gradual (de tempore et de sanctis) of Cistercian origin meas. 448 x 320 mm. and consisting of 183 folios. There is in addition one unnumbered flyleaf at the front, while f. 182-183 are also flyleaves. The binding is of white leather over wooden boards with blind tooling. Some of the studs at the four corners and centre of front and back are now missing, and only one of the two clasps is still to be found. There is a modern pencil foliation from 1-183 at t.r.r., while an old foliation in red runs from 1-118 at t.m.r. Another old foliation is employed for the Sanctorale, and this begins at the previous f. 118 and runs from 1-50 in the right recto margin. All the flyleaves contain musical additions. The ms corpus is in regular square plainsong notation on 9 red four-line staves per page. The polyphony is generally on five-line staves, all in black ink. The Kyrie however is on two red four-line staves. A notational peculiarity is the ternary ligature. The Alleluia on f. 182v looks polyphonic, though the first voice is written by a different hand from the second and is on red staves which vary in number. This ms is apparently from St. Urban.
