More about the Current Condition

The fragments are mounted in modern paper bound in a volume together with other fragments of medieval and early modern German manuscripts. Fragment 30 seems to be taken from the lower part of the leaf, as the white space folowing the last text on col. B of the recto side, indicates that this was the last line of text on the page. It is not possible to determine which part of the leaf fol. 29 represents as there are parts of letters visible both before the first lines and after the last lines of text.

Book Decoration and Musical Notation

Description

Rubrics and plain initials in red.

Host Volume

Remarks

The fragments were probably used as pastedowns in an otherwise unidentified in-octavo volume, witness the dark areas marked by the turn-ins on fol. 29v and 30r.
