Um 1890 befand sie sich in der Sammlung Henry Probascos und seit 1956 steht sie in der Newberry Library. Das einzige mehrstimmige Stück ist ein auf einem später hinzugefügten Blatt notierter Nachtrag des ausgehenden 14. oder frühen 15. Jh.

Inhalt: f. 4-30 Brevier; f. 31-33 Kalendar; f. 34-257 Brevier-Antiphonar. - f. 1-3 und 258-266 enthalten auf etwas später hinzugefügten Blätter Nachträge des späten 13. und 14. Jh.

This manuscript, probably copied in Central Italy, is a Franciscan Breviary-Antiphoner of the 13th century (after 1232).
