Summary
A Benedictine Sacramentary, perhaps written in the first half of the 12th cent. in Tuscany (Torpes of Pisa, Apr. 29, Mustiola of Chiusi, July 3, etc.), with an imperfect calendar (Apr.-Sept. only) and end. The Ordinary of the Mass begins on fol. 11, the Canon on fol. 14: the latter contains the ancient and unusual words 'tam uenerande natiuitatis quam beate passionis', on fol. 15v.
There is a peculiar 'Ordo uel denuntiatio' connected with the baptismal service (fol. 42), containing seven 'scrutinia' of the catechumens, the Nicene Creed in Greek and Latin (fols. 53, 53v), and the Apostles' Creed in a short old Roman form (fol. 57), with short expositions.
There are musical notes in parts. Fols. 180-1 are fragments of a 14th cent. law book.
Date
Written in the 12th and 14th century in central and North Italy (?)
Language
Latin
Physical facet
On parchment, with some fine illuminated capitals (foll. 11v, 14, 85, etc.)

Custodial history
In the second half of the 13th cent. an addition was made on fol. 77v 'atque uenerabili Petro Pino episcopo Castellano [d. 1253]. Seu etiam inclito duci nostro', which points to Venice. In the first half of the 14th cent. (?) the book was turned by marginal additions into a Venetian missal.
