A manuscript of lesson texts (ff. 1–59), followed by 12 folios of music (ff. 60–71), from a separate fascicle probably originally of a smaller size. The lessons show a remarkably clean and fine text and musical notation, which could date from before the 14th Century. The individual voices are written in score across the opening. The monophonic lamentations of f.65-71v date from were perhaps copied slightly later (15th century?). These are also found in the main corpus (f. 73-83v).

RISM B/IV 3: 14./15. Jh.; 83 Blätter Pergament, 325 x 230 mm. Moderne Foliierung von f. 1-83. - Einband: mit braunem Leder überzogene Holzdeckel; Blindpressung.

Diese aus Diessen stammende, vermutlich etwa um 1400 geschriebene Handschrift enthält von f. 1-59 Lektionstexte. Die folgenden 12 Blätter (f. 60-71) stellen einen ursprünglich wohl selbständigen Faszikel von etwas kleinerem Format (ca. 305 x 215 mm) dar. Je Seite stehen hier 8 rote Fünfliniensysteme mit gotischer Choralnotation Die mehrstimmige Lektionen zeigen eine auffallend saubere und feine Text- und Notenschrift, die noch dem 14. Jh. angehören könnte. Die einzelnen Stimmen der in Partitur geschriebenen Stücke sind jeweils fortlaufend über ein Doppelblatt aufgezeichnet. Vielleicht etwas später (15. Jh. ?) wurden auf f. 65-71v einstimmige Lamentationen eingetragen. Solche stehen auch im Hauptcorpus (vergleiche f. 73-83v).
