Description of the notation
Square notation in black on four red lines (on f. 3r only, lines black as well).
Decoration

Complexly decorated initials for the first matins responsory of major feasts. They all share rather intricate floral patterns and, more rarely, zoomorphic with colour patterns of deep red, light red/pink, orange, blue and azul.

Other chant initials generally in taller letters of blue, red and green.

Inscriptions

[i]dos de jullhu Eu Joham alverus indigno sacerdote e[n]cadernei este liv[r]o co[m] [ou]t[r]os muitos deste mosteiro p[er] ma[n]dado [da] Sra dona lianor coutinha abdesa d'arouq e f[ilh]a do co[n]de de ma[ri]alva do[m] g[onçal]o e da co[n]desa dona beiat[r]iz de melo sua molher".
