Description
  • Contents: ff. 1r-42v: Boethius (b. c. 480, d. 524), De institutione musica (On the Principles of Music), imperfect (Book 1, 23-Book 5, 8) beginning at the chapter 23 of the first book: 'Hoc igitur modo per singular tetrachorda in generum proprietates partitio facta est', ending at the chapter 8 of book five: 'si coniungitur nete quidem diezeugmenon'. Several parts are missing due to the loss of some leaves and quires. The manuscript includes numerous short glosses written mainly by a thirteenth-century English hand. Decoration:Tables and diagrams in red and brown, occasionally with some green. Two full-page diagrams (ff. 35v-36r). Small initials in red or blue with penwork decoration in the same and the alternate colour, occasionally with reserved designs. Rubrics in red.
