8 pages of a calendar and 1 of prayers at the front, followed at f. 10 by a corpus of laude (without music); music starts at f. 71. From f. I-LXX there are sequences, together with a few motets based on sequence texts; this section may have belonged to a different manuscript.

Modern binding of wooden boards covered in half-leather (the 2 unnumbered paper flyleaves both at front and back belong with the modern binding)

large black square notes; motets in mensural notation ( employs semibreves, minims and major semibreves (i.e. with a descending tail) as well as longs, breves and c.o.p. ligatures)

6 red four-line staves per page

Red folioation begins at real f. 10 (8 pages of a calendar and 1 of prayers at the front are not numbered): extends from I-LXX, but apparently f. 2-5, 20, 22, 23, 27 and one or two pages at the end of the section are missing from this total. From f. 71 onwards a modern ink foliation appears at t.r.r.

parchment interleaved with tissue

RISM B/IV 1: A 14th century parchment manuscript, interleaved with tissue, whose 98 folios meas. 297 x 272 mm. There are 2 unnumbered paper flyleaves both at front and back which go with the modern binding of wooden boards covered in half-leather. 8 pages of a calendar and 1 of prayers at the front are not numbered. The corpus of laude, for which no music is provided, begins on the real f. 10, which is numbered I in red at t.m.r. This red foliation goes from I-LXX, but apparently f. 2-5, 20, 22, 23, 27 and one or two pages at the end of the section are missing from this total. The musical part of the ms starts at f. 71, and, from here on, a modern ink foliation appears at t.r.r. This may have been a different manuscript from f. I-LXX originally, since it is made up of sequences, together with a few motets based on sequence texts. The notation consists of large black square notes on 6 red four-line staves per page. The motets are in mensural notation, which employs semibreves, minims and major semibreves (i.e. with a descending tail) as well as longs, breves and c.o.p. ligatures.
