A bifolium with a single conjugate leaf laid in from an antiphonary, on parchment, c. 590 x 408 m, with two seven-line elaborate initials in black ink and letter spacing to aid intonation. The music is in square notation on five-line staves ruled in red with six lines of lyrics ruled in lead point, c. 273 x 495 mm (ruled), the text is written in black ink, in a rotunda script, with rubrics in red, foliation n the upper margins. The text contains the cantus for Mass, opening on ’[appropin]qua[n]t mi[c]hi et humiliauite’, (They draw near to me, and he has humbled me).

 

A very good example. There is some general discolouration and rubbing to the parchment and text, some corners lost, but no textual impact. Space for a decorated letter to be added but it never was to the single leaf. Parchment rippling, particularly to the final leaf, some damp staining.
