The liturgical contents of this fragment include chants for St. Symphorian (Lauds and some pieces of Matins), commemorated on August 22. A textual variant in one of the pieces is rare and found only in a few known sources written in southern France or the Iberian peninsula.
The fragment includes a Lesson for the Octava Assumptionis and also the beginning of the feast for Bartholomaeus.
Red line for notation, small/medium-sized neumes. Custodes. The notator put special care in placing the neumes in the notational space.
Red and blue simple initials for the beginning of the main chants (such as the first chant of the Hour or Antiphona ad Benedictus). Brown ink initials for the verses and the other chants. Rubrics in red.
Red and blue initials for the textual part.
Recto:
Two inscriptions. The most modern one, in blue pen, on the top-left corner reads "Caixa 281, nº7"; the other one, modern in brown ink, reads "São Vicente d' Giella". There are some other inscriptions barely readable: one, in brown ink, reads "Tombo (...)".
Verso:
One modern inscription in red pencil reading "71"
Very good. It is a single folio fragment, probably cut on all sides. No content loss. It was used as a cover, the borders of the fragment were folded to fit the size of the book being covered. Some spots and dirtiness on both recto and verso.
Partially notated fragment with 2 columns. The verso is full-textual and counts 34 lines. The recto shows the first column fully notated counting 34 lines alternated with text and notation (17+17).
Single-page fragment without foliation.
