General Remarks
Two small parchment fragments, apparently from the same codex, survive in fragmentary condition. They preserve portions of a Marian antiphon (Sub tuum praesidium) associated with the Assumption of Mary. The fragments exhibit rubrication and simple penwork initials. Much of the musical and textual content is lost, and the verso of both fragments is very faded.
