Summary

A single parchment folio from a late medieval chant manuscript, written in Gothic script with rubrics and simple red initials. The fragment preserves chants for the Office of St. Agnes, Virgin Martyr, including responsories, verses, and antiphons. The musical notation consists of neumes in black ink on tetragrams. The layout is in two columns. The folio has been trimmed along the shoulder side, resulting in some loss of text.
