A Roman Choir Psalter, with canticles and antiphons, similar to no. 30554, but containing only Matins and Lauds for week-days, with musical notes. There are twelve fine miniatures and many illuminated capitals. At fols. 126 and 150 are figures of Dominican monks and of st. Dominic. The capitals at least are by the same artist as MS. Lat. liturg. a. 2.
