Note:

Ms. codex.
Begins imperfectly. Original foliation in rubricated Roman numerals appears on the verso side of fols. 1-24 and 56-109. The numerals have been trimmed in rebinding, which may explain the absence of original foliation for fols. 25-55 and 110-122. The remnants of the original foliation indicate that a quire of 8 leaves preceded the text as it exists today.
A note on fol. 122v in Italian is dated 1600.

Music: Contains musical notation.
Binding: 20th cent. calf.
Origin: Written in northern Italy, probably earlier half of the 15th century.
