Small scrap of parchment containing an initial and some square notation. It is pasted on a binding made out of plain parchment around a musical manuscript from ca. 1600, likely the result of some kind of historical book binding intervention.

The host volume is part of a set of musical manuscripts, of which only one other volume (L 43 131) remains extant. L 43 131 is also bound in a notated liturgical fragment, F-f0aa, most likely from the same codex as the present scrap. Both once belonged to Danish scholar Johannes Stephanius (1561-1625), whose ownership inscription on the front pastedown is dated 1582.

The host L 43 host volumes are described in Kongsted, Ole. ...‘...Derforuden i et Bundt Endeel Gl. Musicalia, Mutilerede, u-Nyttige Og Af Ingen Importance’.
