        (recto:) [Adorate deum omnes angeli eius audivit]// et letata est Syon et exultaverunt filie Iude. Dominus regnavit exultet terra letentur insule multe. Graduale. Timebunt gentes nomen tuum domine et omnes reges terre gloriam tuam. Quoniam edificavit dominus Syon et videbitur in maiestate eius. Alleluia. Dominus regnavit exultet terra letentur insule multe.

Diligam te domine virtus mea dominus firmamentum meum et refugium meum. Graduale. Adiutor in oportunitatibus in tribulacione sperent in te qui noverunt te quoniam non derelinquis querentes te domine. Quoniam non//[in finem oblivio erit pauperis...].

It bears the usual ownership note, "Ecclesiae Unitariensis Claudiopolitanae" (s. XVII/XVIII, p. 1), and a stamp reading "A kolozsvári unitárius föiskola könyvtára 1883" (front fyleaf).
