This codex, written in the 13th century, contains a lectionary for
Matins for the saints’ days and an antiphonary for the entire
liturgical year. The antiphonary bears the title In nomine domini
incipiunt antiphone secundum morem Marbacensis ecclesie.
Nevertheless, this is probably not a manuscript from the reformed
monastery of Marbach in Alsace. Based on the offices, which
indicate a connection with St. Gall, it must rather be assumed that
the manuscript originated in the monastery of the Canons Regular of
St. Lawrence in Ittingen, which belonged to the monastery of St.
Gall, but which followed the Consuetudines of Marbach. The fly leaf
(p. 2/1) contains a large part of the Office of St. Gallus,
probably from a manuscript from the 10th/11th century. Readings as
well as chants (the latter ones with neumes) are recorded. The
order of the responses and antiphons does not match that of the
Hartker antiphonary, Cod. Sang. 391.
