Inscriptions
Three inscriptions on fol. Ar. "90" is written in red ink (modern hand) between the two columns. Along the left margin: "Caixa 242, n° 2" written in blue ink (modern hand) and “Sam Salvador de Donim”. One unreadable later hand inscription was added on Bv, left column, at the end of responsory "Apparuerunt" (Cantus ID 006110). A second inscription, possibly by the same hand, is found below. Both inscriptions are written reversed with respect to the contents of the page.
Material
Parchment
Condition of document

Bifolium slightly damaged. The two pages are not consecutive. The fragment was used as a cover. The lateral margins are ripped; traces of thread-stitching along the perimeter of the fragment. The side Bv - Ar is in worse condition: the ink is vanished, folds and creases make the reading difficult. Patches of damp and dirtiness.

Page layout

Size of the fragment: 455-535 x 413-421 mm; fol. A: 213-270 x 413-421 mm; fol: B 223-268 x 413-421 mm. Text area: two columns of 82-95 x c. 335 mm. 38 text lines, some with music.

Remarks
Avelino de Jesus da Costa refers to this fragment as "Caixa 242 - 31 – Número 2 – Tombo de Salvador de Donim, 1549". The parish church and abbey of São Salvador de Donim is located about 15 km east of Braga and was a dependency of the Benedictine Monastery of Tibães.
