Composite of several originally separate fascicles assembled and bound in late 16th or early 17th century. First gathering is misbound, and belongs at beginning of ModD 10.

A second scribe copied ff. 9'-22 (Jaquet psalms); third scribe copied ff. 23'-34 (Requiem Mass). Remaining music copied by Orazio Vecchi (cf. Tav. IX of RoncCM), whose hand also appears in ModD 9 and ModD 11. Copied in Modena, for use by the cathedral choir.

Many folios severely damaged by ink corrosion, and much music is illegible.
