General Description

MS copy of 'Sermones dominicales per annum'; two leaves of music are used as paste-down and first endpaper of the MS. The paste-down appears to be inverted and contains notation for a single voice for three works (plus a fragment of the cantus of 'De Narcisus'):

De narcisscus

Un dou[c]he regart curiant me maistrie

Salve regina... [incipit]

The endpaper appears to have rubbed notation on the recto, and on the verso the red rulings are clearly visible around the edges of the leaf (also rubbed) but the clefs show that this leaf is not inverted despite apparently being conjunct with the paste-down.

No corresponding leaf is to be found at the rear of the MS.

Physical Description

fragment; one leaf is rubbed to the extent that any music is only visible as shadows, though the red ruling seems to have survived more than the brown notes.
