RISM B/IV 1: A late 13th or early 14th century parchment manuscript meas. 277 x 187 mm. and containing 285 folios written in Gothic script in 2 cols., GautierR is one of the sources of Gautier de Coincy's Miracles de Nostre Dame. The foliation is in 19th century pencil at t.r.r., with an additional not altogether correct ink foliation towards the end. There are 2 unnumbered paper flyleaves at each end of the codex which doubtless belong to the sumptuous 19th century binding of purple velvet lined with green morocco. Attractive miniatures in blue, red, gold, etc. precede each miracle; they are typical of the North French school. GautierR was brought to Russia by Dubrovsky ; before that, it belonged to the library of St. Corneille de Compiègne, whence it moved to the library of Baron de Crassier, which was sold at Liège in 1755. The only polyphonic piece is the usual De sainte Leochade, la virge on f. 137v-138 (see Gautier S). The square unmeasured black notes are written on 9 accolades of 2 red four-line (occasionally five- or three-line) staves.
