Old (posibly original) soft cover of beige leather, with remains of leather ties.
Decoration:
Scribe added black ink initials, some calligraphic, but mostly simple Roman majuscules. Red & green intials, ff. 7v-8r, possibly in a later hand.
Inscriptions:
Inscriptions appear on various folios next to the bass part, indicating modal position (cues for organist).

Remains of original front flyleaf. Original numbering of pieces in brown ink; each of the three sets of Holy Week responsories received separate numeration. Modern pencil foliation, 1-19, 21-36 (omitting no. 20). All three edges of folios have red coloring similar to that on P-Cug MM 26.
