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
At the end (fol. 202v), a note refers to an earlier binding, made in 1483: "Era do nacime[n]to de noso senor Jh[es]u [Christ]o de mill e iiij lxxxiii anos. xxx dias ... [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".
