Black square notation on a five-line red stave.

Material
Condition of document

Bad. The folio was used as a book cover. Damaged, the top and the left side was cutted with loss of content.

Page layout

One column with only 5 lines of music and text. The top has been trimmed.

Remarks

The only surviving rubric (second half of recto) says «Ad / vj / aña». The three antiphons are mostly associated with the Advent period. There are melodic similarities with P-BRs Ms. 32 (Exspectabo dominum f. 11v; Ex Aegypto f. 12r; and Sion nolite f. 20r).
