General Description

The outer page is blank, which may indicate that this was the cover page of the original MS. The provenance of the MS is not known, but it may have been kept in a Catalonian church, since there are annotations in Catalonian from 1484 which do not belong to the rest of the contents.

Inventory incorrectly identified the piece on fols 5-5v as the Credo by Bosquet-Pelisson. The two composers Bosquet & Pelisson separated, and the piece on f. 5-5v identfied as a Gloria by Pelisson.
