Contains primarily non-musical items: Vocabulary (f. 1-80, 82-87, 89-120, dated 1426), Tabulae and Sermons. On f. 81r / v, 88r / v, and f. 122r and 123v are some sloppy and sometimes erroneously quoted polyphonic pieces. Strikingly, there are concordances with Bohemian handwriting (the hand of the main corpus).
