The foliation is of modern pencil at t.r.r. Although the ms can be divided into two parts, the second of 4 leaves is only slightly later than the first of 10. Unusually for the period, there is a date on f. Sv.Anno domini 1363, 16 Kalendas May ista conscripta sunt ad honorem gloriose virginis Marie pro eius laude cantanda et dulcibus vocibus modulanda. Part I of the ms is in Gothic neumes, part II in square notes (including a piece on f. 10v). In part I the staves and main initials are in red with c and f clefs generally, while the second part employs 8 brown four-line staves per page with a red f-line. The number of lines per stave varies considerably in part I: f. 1-2 has mainly four lines, f. 2v-3v four or five lines as required for the polyphony, the rest of f. 3v-5v four lines, and f. 6-10 six lines throughout. All the two-part polyphony occurs in part I in score with bar-lines in brown. The contents are hymns, Alleluias and sequences.
