Support
parchment
Physical extent
i + 272 + i fol.
Decoration
Coloured initials for the feasts of the Virgin, St. Lawrence and All Saints; at the beginning of the canon an initial with Christ standing in the tomb (fol. 128v).
Musical notation
Square notation on 8 long staves of 4 red lines.
Provenance
The evidence in favour of Vicenza is not very strong. Though all the feasts with a local or regional cult are to be found in the kalendar of Aquileia, the fact that they can also be explained as centred in and around Vicenza seems to agree rather with the actual appearance of the manuscript. Vicenza (20 August), Vicenza, Padua (14 August), Vicenza, Veneto (12 July), Verona (9 August).
