A single Medius/Contratenor partbook. Copied by several similar and probably contemporary hands following in sequence. Some of the text appears to have a 17th-century cast, using italic and copperplate rather than the secretary underlay of other works.. The leaves from 51v are ruled but otherwise unused apart from some music scored out on f. 84 and single incomplete line of (French/English) lute tablature copied on fol. 85v with the book inverted. Gaps in the copying in the latter part of the book suggest a more ordered inception which fragments as the copyists change.

void mensural with SS ligatures.

4 printed stave lines per page, with vertical margin rules
