This is the first volume of the three Mangon Choirbooks, containing 22 mass settings by various composers, mostly by Mangon. Dates and attributions of pieces are given in inventory when present. The manuscript was copied in blackish-brown ink by one large, very neat hand (probably Johannes Mangon) in an elegant minuscule. With the exception of folios 1–71, missing leaves (folios 109, 159, and 282) have been replaced.
