P-BRad Pastas 052
Very simple decoration: only plain initials in red or black. Display script in red. Text and Aquitanian notation in black.
Central bifolium slightly damaged. The fragment was used as book cover. Fols. 131r and 132v are in poorer condition (external cover). There are many irregular cuts and tears along the borders. Loss of contents along the lower margin. Damp patches and creases challenge the reading of the fragment. A shred of parchment was used to patch a tear on fol. 132r. Some square Aquitanian neumes around a red line are visible on the shred.
Size of the bifolium: 310 x 225 mm. Text area: one column of 295 x 155 mm. 30 – 31 text lines, many with music.
Original foliation in Roman numerals on fol. 132 ("cxxxii"). The analysis of the contents of the other folio allows us to demonstrate that the two folios are consecutive - the other being "131" - and that the fragment was originally a central bifolio.
