        Corporis Christi (also 'Blessed Sacrament') (fol. 1r-2r and last part of f. 2v):
        [Locutus est populus contra dominum anima nostra nauseat] super cibo isto levissimo
        Lectio v: Offertur in ecclesia pro vivis et pro mortuis
        Cenantibus illis accepit
        Dixerunt viri tabernaculi mei
        Lectio vi: Convenit itaque devotioni
        Accepit Jesus calicem
        Memoria memor ero et tabescet
        Introibo ad altare dei sumam
        Cibavit nos dominus ex adipe
        Educas panem de terra
        O sacrum convivium in quo
        Memoriam fecit mirabilium
        Memoria mea in generatione
        Qui habet aures audiendi
        Melchisedech vero rex Salem
        Calix benedictionis cui
        Ego sum panis vite
        Ego sum panis vivus qui de caelo
      • Remarks

        Fol. 1 and 2r contain musical notation; fol. 2v only contains text. It is thus uncertain if this is an antiphonal or breviary.
