Summary

This group comprises four small parchment fragments of liturgical chant, preserved in poor condition. Fragment 3, the earliest, is written in a caroline-related hand with Luxeuil features and adiastematic neumes; pigment analysis indicates original verdigris. Fragments 1–2, slightly later, contain chants for the Office of St. Paul. Fragment 4 preserves only traces of a staff.
