Apparently the only surviving remnants of a large choirbook of Masses (though see also Camera, Amministrazione della Casa, Spenderia, reg. 421), probably prepared as companion manuscript to ModE M.1.13. Copied by a single scribe, identified in Ferrara court payment records as 'il fra de san Domenego' (LockF). Copied in Ferrara, for use at the ducal court of Ercole I d'Este (reigned 1471-1505). Transferred to Modena at end of 16th century; now part of collection of documents relating to Este family.

I-MOas 221
XVe s. 3 ff. Parchemin, 550 x 338 mm. Pagination moderne: 1-6, et numérotation ancienne des pièces en ch. romains. Notation mesurée blanche. 9 portées par p. Initiales ornées en couleurs.
Ces 3ff. tirés d'une reliure proviennent d'un luxueux ms. écrit de la même main que le ms. MOe 456 de la Biblioteca Estense. Outre l'identité du scribe, le style des initiales, des ornements des marges, montrent que le ms. avait été copié à Ferrare pour la cour des Este vers 1480-1490. La numérotation des deux fragments de messes: XII et XIIII montre qu'il s'agissait d'un gros recueil contenant un nombre important de messes.
