The two folios are consecutive: they contain the Masses for Holy Wednesday and Maundy Thursday and the initial antiphons for the Mandatum rite; it belonged to a section of chants for Holy Week. Very interesting are the three Antiphons on f. B verso, for Maundy Thursday. These Antiphons are not referred to in the Missal of Braga.
Plain initials in magenta, red and brown. Display script in red. Text and notation in black. Neumes entered around a red line.
A marginal unreadable note on f. Ar right side. On B verso there is a library sticker with the numbers: 1722 and some more numerals deleted and now unreadable.
Bifolium slightly damaged. It was bound with a register book, which it still covers. There are wrinkles, folds, spots of humidity, small holes, pasted paper and effacements that make the reading difficult and cause loss of contents. Folio A is in better condition; in the upper part of B verso the ink is mostly vanished.
The original foliation is lost.
