Decoration: Rubrication used through out notates the verses and responses in the chants, as well as the beginning of the section for Lauds. The rubrication seems to have more curves and a more fluid, thinner appearance than the main text, which may be evidence for a different hand.

A manuscript leaf from a Breviary and probably dates from the thirteenth or fourteenth century, most likely from Germany. The text contains prose readings (excerpts from Gregory’s Homilarium in Evangelica) associated with the Common of Several Martyrs in the Divine Office, and would have been read when the feasts of several saints coincided.
0 references
Music: The chants also contain unstaved music above it, in the Gothic neumes or hufnagel form, with melisma and duration noted by wavy lines in red within the line of text.

Marginalia: Text in the upper margin of verso written in a later hand.
