Support
paper. Various watermarks, of which the only one that can be identified is similar to Heawood's design no. 1, 'Anchor' from Venice in 1609 (see Edward Heawood, Watermarks: Mainly of the 17th and 18th Centuries[Paper Publications Society: Hilversum, 1950], p. 63 and Pl. 1)

Hands
Written by one rather ragged hand. Inks brown and vermilion (Wilson and Stefanović, Manuscripts of Byzantine Chant in Oxford [1963], p. 9)
Decoration
Ornamented initials
Musical notation
Late Byzantine notation, written clearly, but with a tendency to very broad strokes of the pen. Apart from the Kekragarion and the series of Eothina, the chant is very melismatic, and on fols 79-82 there are melismata without any accompanying text.
Binding
Leather with a pattern on the spine (18th century)
Acquisition
Purchased by the Bodleian at Sotheby's, 23 March to 4 April 1859, from the collection of Guillaume Libri
Provenance
Fol. 1 contains the signature of Peter Mogil, Archbishop of Kiev: 'Petre Mogila archiepiskop' Mitropolit' Kievskii i ruskoi vladenic [?]' in Russian (c. 1640)
A note in French on fol. 1v may indicate that, like other manuscripts acquired by Guillaume Libri, it once belonged to a French collection
