General Description
Physical Description
Very heavily scraped (in places almost completely illegible)
Notation
Ars nova notation (Italian and French)
Foliation
i-ii', a-bv, 1-110, iii-iv', covers, endboards
Original foliation i-clxxxviii with gaps (including missing pages between l & lxxii, lxxxxii-ci, cii-cviii, cx-cxxi)
The original manuscript fascicles were re-bound in a different sequence when re-used, so the modern sequence of pieces is different from the original; and many pieces are separated across end/beginning of fascicles or pages re-bound in a different sequence.
DIAMM inventory uses original foliation (but with Arabic not Roman numerals), with modern foliation shown in square brackets.
