Condition of document: 
Severely damaged. This single-leaf fragment was badly trimmed at the top and the bottom leaving only one stave and part of another.

Flourish initial in red with blue decoration and black cadel initial. Secondary initials in red or blue.
Inscriptions: 
Blue stamp «[blurred] lamego» and «Homem quacem(?)» [r]
Remarks: 
This fragment contains three Kyries. The one on the recto reads Rex magne and it corresponds to Melnicki's mMEL124. The Kyrie that preceds it has very little contents, making it difficult to figure out if it matches any entry in Melnicki's catalogue. However, if we take into account the Hieronymite manuscript P- EVad Mús. Lit. Ms. no70 and the guard-leafs from P-Gmas LC 017 (guardas)  and compare them with the contents of this fragment, it is possible to suggest that the incomplete Kyrie in P-LA Caixa 1, Fragmento 12 could be mMEL48.
