Description of the notation

Small/medium size neumes around a red line. The difference between a lozenge and a more or less square punctum is always clearly defined. The axis of the notation is vertical. Lozenge is used very consistently both in isolation and in combination. Alleluia In conspectu g01429 on fol. Br is in 4th mode and the line means F. Here, the F-clef was added in red ink at the beginning of the piece. Custodes occasionally used only on Brv.

Decoration

Initials in red and black, plain or with simple decorations in the same or in the alternate colour

Inscriptions
The fragment was formerly used as book cover. Folio Br has two stickers providing the shelf-mark of the book. A later hand inscription whose ink is almost completely vanished can be read at the top right corner of fol. Br.
Material
Parchment
Condition of document

Bifolium damaged; some dirtiness and traces of humidity, holes. Library stickers and some folds demonstrate that the fragment was used for long time as a book cover, however, it is currently detached from the book it protected.
