Remarks
Paper sheet, with the notated antiphon Requiem aeternam, glued on the verse of the last folio. Serving as the two final flyleaves, there's a bifolio fragment of a book of Canonical Law (with occasional references to the Archbishop of Compostela), with marginal comments (glosae). Paper sheet, with several intonation formulas, glued on the inside of the back cover.
