Overall poor. Fol. A mutilated with complete loss of one of the two columns per page. Exposed sides (fols. Ar - Bv): ink partially faded, with folds creases and burnt zones further impeding readability; Non-exposed sides in fair conditions except for a few small holes and folds.
Two columns of text and music.

The contents of this fragment agree in everything but a few antiphon differentiae with P-Br MS. 32, ff. 165r - sgg and for the noteworthy presence of two verses for the responsory Splendida facta est.
Both are common, but their consecutive use is only reported elsewhere in Cantus Database in very few French sources.
