Layout: 1 column, 7 lines of text and ruled for seven musical staves Decoration: Large 1-line and 1-staff high decorated initial "C" in black ink set in a frame and surrounded and infilled by floral penwork in black and tightly-packed red horizontal lines (fol. 476.2r); occasional 1-line initials and rubrics in red Both folios formerly recycled as pastedowns in a binding Fol. 476.2 almost entirely torn laterally across the folio in the bottom margin Fol. 476.1: later paper manuscript, likely produced in the 18th century, pasted to verso, obscuring most of the original page; rubric on verso in Spanish introducing the commemoration of the dedication of a church Both folios are unfinished, lacking occasional major initials, all the intended musical notation and, on fol. 476.1, the intended red-lined musical staves. An excellent pair of folios that reveal the different stages in the "order of operation" of manuscript production. Fol. 476.1: Chants for the feast of the archangel Gabriel and for the commemoration of the dedication of a church; ater text on paper manuscript pasted on verso of the folio preserves chants and music for the feasts of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Antoninus Florentinus Fol. 476.2: Chants for the feast of St. Andrew Incipit: Fol. 476.1: te in omnibus viis tuis Fol. 476.2: suscipe discipulus eius Explicit: Fol. 476.1: Terribilis est locus is[te] Fol. 476.2: pependit in te. Magnifice
