The contents are mainly non-musical and consist of sermons by St. Augustine on the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John. The music consists of the two-part sequence Verbum bonum et suave personemus illud ave in score on f. 1, which was originally blank on the recto side. At the end of the piece are the words Probatio Picaristi. The incipit is practically identical with that of MS 90, which, as already mentioned, has much in common with that of W1 313, apart from the ornaments.

RISM Description
RISM B/IV 1: A parchment manuscript of the end of the 12th century from the Abbey of Anchin meas. 315 x 230 mm. and containing 140 folios plus 1 blank unnumbered flyleaf at the front and 1 blank stub at the end, both contemporary with the other pages. A modern foliation in printer's ink is stamped at t.r.r. The binding is of brown calf over wooden boards with blind tooling, and bears the legend "S. I. l'ouvrier". The back is now strengthened with new brown leather. The contents are mainly non-musical and consist of sermons by St. Augustine on the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John. The slightly Gothic minuscule script is written in two columns with red-green initials and red rubrics. The music consists of the two-part sequence Verbum bonum et suave personemus illud ave in score on f. 1, which was originally blank on the recto side. At the end of the piece are the words Probatio Picaristi. As in ms 90, the neumes are of Metz type, but in this case there are 5 accolades of 2 brown four-line staves and bar-lines are used after each word. The incipit is practically identical with that of ms 90, which, as already mentioned, has much in common with that of W1 313, apart from the ornaments.
