In Italian and Latin., Watermarks: unidentified mountain., Script: Arranged in a tabular format and written in many different cursive hands. Some entries have been crossed out., Numerous folios are stained and partly illegible; final leaves mutilated; loss of text throughout., and Binding: Date? Sewn with coarse thread on seven double, wound thongs. Tacketed to a brown goatskin wrapper with seven sets of four tawed, pinkish-brown thongs, wound around each other on the outside of the spine. Sewing holes about 10 mm. apart outline the edges of the spine, sides, fore-edge and envelope flaps. Mold has eaten into cover and book, and the wrapper has shrunk so that it is now much smaller than the bookblock. Home-made notarial binding? Covers are lined with fragments of a noted antiphonal (12th century); part of one sheet containing responds and antiphons for Epiphany and its octave is legible. Ca. 17 lines of text. Diastematic notation on a dry point staff with one red line. C and f are used as clefs, but from the condition of the sheet it is not possible to tell which clef should be associated with the red line.
