Two leaves containing motets and mass movements from the second
half of the 14th century. They now measure 243x200 mm (fol. 1) and
282x200 mm (fol. 2), and may come from different medieval
manuscripts originally. The Ars Nova notation is written on 9
(originally 10) red five-line staves per page on fol. 1, and on 10
per page on fol. 2. The semi-Gothic script has red or purple
initials on fol. 1 and red or black ones on fol. 2. On both folios
the top stave is cut away.
The current recto of fol. 1 was its original verso (with the
triplum on the left-hand side of the opening), and its current
verso was its original recto (with the right-hand side of the
opening accommodating the ending of the triplum, and complete
motetus and tenor parts).
