RISM B/IV 2: A 15th century paper manuscript meas. 298 x 220 mm. and containing 166 folios bound in a cover of red leather over wooden boards. The binding is doubtless contemporary with the ms. The contents are sermons, except for the front parchment flyleaf, which contains a monophonic sequence on St. Margaret and a two-part sequence beg. "... federis et legis" and ending "David fit in medium..." Since the flyleaf is stuck to the binding, it may be that more of the piece is preserved on the reverse side, for this is a double page stuck in sideways. The notation consists of 3.5 accolades of Gothic neumes in two-part score with c and f clefs in the upper part and f and b clefs in the lower one. The single notes are of pedes muscarum type, and the staves are brown four-line ones. The two voices are separated by a wavy line, and there are frequent bar-lines. Both the monody and the polyphony are cut away at the top of the page.
