General Description

Composite of two originally separate manuscripts later bound together. Part I = ff. 1-93'; Part II = ff. 94-153'. Part I once formed continuation of VatSM 36 (f. 85' of VatSM 36 and f. 1 of VatSM 32 were facing pages). Part I copied by Johannes Parvus (BraunerP). Part II copied mostly by a single scribe, who also wrote ff. 27'-55 and ff. 127'-151 of VatS 54 (BraunerP); last piece is later addition by different hand. Copied in Rome, possibly for use at Church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
