IIIF Manifest
The most important music section of this MS runs from f. 149-169. A different, much neater hand takes over from f. 167v-168, but f. 168v-169 contains somewhat later additions. The polyphony in score is, as usual at this period, in two parts, which are separated by a red line. The clefs are c, f and g. Most compositions can be classified as conductus, though no. 3 is perhaps best described as an organum.

RISM Description
RISM B/IV 1: A 12th and early 13th century parchment manuscript meas. 195 x 140 mm. as a whole and containing 169 folios + 2 unnumbered paper flyleaves each end. The foliation at t.r.r. is relatively modern, and has to be supplemented by 4 unnumbered parchment flyleaves at the front. The binding is identical with StM-A. StM-B is clearly from St. Martial itself, since the librarian Bernart Itier had the volume bound in 1205 and before that he wrote his name with the designation succentor in 1198 on f. 22. The musically important part of the ms runs from f. 149-169 and dates from the second half of the 12th century. A different, much neater hand takes over from f. 167v-168, but f. 168v-169 contains somewhat later additions. The Carolingian minuscule script employs red initials and Aquitanian point notation on 5 accolades of 2 generally four-line dry-point staves per page. The two motets nos. 18 and 19 are exceptions, since the two parts are written in an unusual manner on a single stave. The polyphony in score is, as usual at this period, in two parts, which are separated by a red line. The clefs are c, f and g. Most compositions can be classified as conductus, though no. 3 is perhaps best described as an organum.
