• Parchment, handwritten.
• 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).
• Belongs to a collection of fragments from liturgical manuscripts. Maculature and flyleaves taken from various Leiden bindings, some of which have been lost. Registered in the BPL journal in 1949.
