Diese wohl aus dem frühen 15. Jh. stammende Handschrift besteht aus einer Sammlung von Grammatiktraktaten, denen ab f. 95 ein musikalischer Teil folgt: je Seite 6 oder 7 Fünfliniensysteme mit gotischer Choralnotation. Von f. 95-111v und von f. 114r-116r stehen einstimmige Marienlieder, ein Patrem (Mensuralnotation) und ein Sanctus; f. 112/113 sind offenbar eingeschoben und enthalten vermutlich meist zweistimmige Stücke in unsorgfältiger, schwarzer Mensuralnotation Auf f. 116r ist ein vielleicht zweistimmiges Stück nachgetragen.
