The earliest register for Lincoln College, Oxford, with entries from 1470 to c. 1640. 31 parchment strips cut horizontally from a fourteenth-century English manuscript containing motets.

Both the paper and the parchment sewing guards are very clean, with the exception of the outer leaves of gathering 11, which are very dirty and worn.

Remains of a late gothic binding (15th century); alum tawed covers, spine missing. Offset of a parchment (?) flyleaf with red staves visible inside front cover. Parchment sewing guards around the outside of fifteen of the sixteen paper quires and in the centre of all sixteen, 31 in total.

Black full mensural (post-Franconian, ars nova) and black void mensural.

Hand-ruled five-line red staves (220mm in width, 24mm in height); lead-point staves in a later hand.

Original foliation (irregular) in the paper manuscript; no foliation visible on the sewing guards.

No initials

Paper codex; parchment sewing guards.

Inventory provided by Joseph W. Mason. NB Two numbers separated by a forward slash are used when a single fragment is bound on the outside of a gathering and therefore is visible at two openings of the host volume.
