A Tropary, with sequences and other musical parts of the Mass, with musical notes, written in the 11th cent. in North Italy
Long lists of saints occur at fols. 70, 71v, 72v, 75v: a Prosary begins at fol. 82: the end is lost, and fol. 207 is rather later than the rest.
A note of the 18th cent. suggests that the mentions of st. Heldrad (fols. 71, 78) point to Novalaise in Piedmont. A facsimile of fol. 102 is in the printed catal. of 1840. [I venture to append to the present volume the results of a special examination of this MS. E.W.B.N.].
