*Magnificat on ff. 122'127 attributed to "Benedictus" by original scribe; later hand crossed out "Benedictus" and added "Rogerus" below. Latter attribution refers to Philippe Rogier (KirschQM); more likely a reference to Rogier Pathie, a contemporary of Benedictus Appenzeller, who likewise served at court of Mary of Hungary (Call).
