General Description

Clearly divided in two parts: the first, carefully written and with a concern for clarity and coherence of contents, always by the same scribe; the second clearly with much less concern with visual presentation and handwriting; it is possible to find three more hands, different from the one in the first section: one ff. 61v to 80r and 98v-103; a second one ff. 81v-87r and a third one ff. 87v-98r. Fols. 75v-76r consist of four part-book format folios for each of four voice parts pasted onto the existing folios. From the Monastery of Santa Maria, Arouca.

Ana Delfina Carvalho, 2011

Physical Description

Some folios show signs of exposure to humidity (guard leaf and ff. 1v-16r); torn folios (guard-leaf and folio 1r); ink corrosion in the second half of the book (especially between ff. 62v-87v)
