General Description

2 pieces of music in 2 parts, within a fascicle of paper folios containing: 1. the so-called Credo di Dante by Antonio da Ferrara (fols. 1–4); 2. two polyphonic pieces for two voices, the first on fol. 4v and the second – stored separately at the end of the collection – on fol. 78r; and 3) a rhymed calendar of saints by Giorgio da Firenze OFM on fol. 78v.

Between fol. 4v and fol. 78v, the miscellaneous manuscript also collects: the office of Saint Trinity; some treatises on mixing colours, making stained glass and miniatures; notes; astronomical and mathematical tables; a tonary to sing the Magnificat, and psalms accompanied by the De modo psallendi attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (fol. 56v–57r).
