From a parchment motet manuscript of the mid-14th century. Doubtless from the same MS originally, these two folios are now quite separate and do not seem to form adjacent pages. The flyleaves had formerly served as flyleaves/pastedowns for two different fifteenth century volumes, LTK 342 and LTK 348, The smaller of the two fragments was the back flyleaf of LTK 342, an incomplete Dutch translation of the Speculum virginium, whose former shelfmark Theol. 63/22 remains written on this fragment. The larger of the two fragments, was once a flyleaf in LTK 348 according to bibliographic information for this volume, a Dutch devotional miscellany preserved in the same collection.

Both leaves are difficult to read on the recto.
