General Description

S Augustini in Epistola Ioanni, with two pastedowns with folded stubs attached. Each pastedown in the remains of a bifolio. The first contains parts of 6 songs, including 3 polyphonic ballades and a Rondeau, all apparently unknown. The second has parts of 2 chansons on the recto, including one complete Virelai; the verso has illegible parts of 2 more chansons; and the rear stub fragments of 2 more chansons.

Full inventory by Niels Berentsen The more readily-identified songs were included Lerch as 'series III' in her reassessment of the fragments of MS B 1328, though neither Fallows nor Lerch provided a detailed inventory.
