The Pontificale contains the rites for liturgical celebrations by
the bishop, among them rites for performing the tonsure, for the
consecration of the lower orders (Cantor, Lector etc.), of the
higher orders (deacon, priest, bishop), for the consecration of
abbots, abbesses and nuns, for the consecration of a church, of a
cemetery and of liturgical objects. Several incipits of liturgical
songs are annotated with adiastematic neumes. In the margins on pp.
110/111 there are two Greek alphabets and a Latin alphabet in
capital letters; they are part of a rite for the consecration of a
church. The saints named in the litany on pp. 98–100 (among them
Corbinian, Ulrich, Walpurga) suggest that the manuscript originated
in a Bavarian diocese.
