On the bottom part of the folio, in brown ink and upside down, another inscription reads "S. Miguel de Bobadella".

Material
Parchment
Condition of document

The bifolio has been cut on the top part and on the A folio in the external part, leading to partial content loss. The bifolio is readable but full of spots of dirt and humidity, especially the Av-Br side. The A folio is also partially folded and glued, making impossible to read part of the content.

Page layout

Single column. The number of lines is impossible to determine due te the cut on the top part of the bifolio. Also the music part and the 5 lines staff size do not adopt the same size of the lines of the text script.

Foliation/Pagination

No foliation/pagination.
