General Description

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 a fifteenth century Dutch devotional miscellany preserved in the same collection, with the shelfmark LTK 348.
