Book Decoration and Musical Notation
The fragment has square notation, closely following the Franciscan notational tradition. Although the host book comes from Westphalia, the Transylvanian origin of the fragment cannot be excluded, as several extant codices were written in a similar notation. It employs a red four-line staff, on which the C clef appears on the second line. As the end of the line is not preserved, no custos is visible; however, its presence may be assumed, given the representative size of the codex.

History
On account of the musical notation, a Transylvanian origin cannot be excluded. However, the fragment may also be German, as the host book was owned in Westphalia.
The host volume was printed in Leiden in 1638.
Owners include:
"Conradus Bierbüchßius Artis Pharmaciae studiosus Huxariensis Westphaliae 1663 die 14 Aprilis" (front pastedown). Huxaria is Höxter in Westphalia.
"Michaelis Arzii (?) valet fl. 1, den. 5" (title page, s. XVII).
"Franc<iscus> Pariz Pápai manu propria" (front flyleaf, s. XVII-XVIII). Pápai Páriz Ferenc, 1649-1716, was one of the most famous polymaths of his time in Aiud.
In 1871, the book belonged to the library of the Reformed College of Cluj (stamp on title page).
It is unclear whether the already bound volume was brought here or it was bound in Cluj; in any case, it is also possible that a locally (Transylvanian) produced manuscript fragment was used as the book’s maculature.
