One hand, late Northern Textualis with humanistic influences.
Simple cadel (2 lines). The fragment displays a typical form of Hungarian notation, cahracterised by the partial presence of a custos. Besides the S-shaped pes neumes characteristic of Hungarian notation, the later inscriptions also support the assumption of a Hungarian origin. The notation is written on four thin red staff lines; the clefs are not visible, as the relevant portion of the fragment has been cut off.Cluj, like the host volume or Oradea, like the earliest owner?The host volume was printed in Cluj, in 1562. Former owners include: "Verus possessor: Stephanus L. Oradinus. Emptus den. <erased> Anno 1617". An István Váradi was court official of the city of Oradea; "Versus possessor Johnnes Fileki iure suo comparavit Anno D. 1626" (title page). One János Füleki was a Reformed pastor in Transylvania. The book subsequently belonged to the Reformed College of Cluj: "Coll. Claud." (title page), "Kolozsvári ref. coll. 1821. dec. 19.” (f. A2 recto).
Annotations include references to the six ages of the world: "Mundus dividitur in sex aetates...". By referring to figures such as Noah, Abraham, and David, it reflects the Augustinian tradition of interpreting world history in successive biblical periods. Further references to figures such as György Kaletár and to works like Hippocrates suggest an educated Transylvanian or Hungarian milieu, with interests extending beyond theology to medicine and the natural sciences.Description by: Márton Szabolcs (CODEX Centre, UBB Cluj), 2026, 1 partial leaf
