The volume is bound in roll-tooled calf over boards with two clasps. The back pastedown contains five five-line staves withthe bass portion of a pre-Reformation, ca. 1530, hymn of the Sarum rite, "Salvator mundi domine," for Trinity Sunday. The front pastedown is ruled for music but is blank. Later owners of the manuscript are noted.
