 Parchment 1 folio 37 55,5 26 41 No foliation. The fragment probably served as a wrapper and has suffered some damage. There are darkened spots and dirt on it. 10 lines of notation with text.

One hand writing a Gothic Textualis of saec. XV.

 Hüfnagel notations on a black five-line stave.

Simple initials in red and black, rubrics in red.

Not bound.

Fragment of an antiphonary, which could stem from a German-speaking area (judging by the notation). It is plausible that the manuscript was in use in Finland during the middle ages and was taken apart for binding material after the reformation (it may have served as the wrapper for a book).

>‘Samuelis Joannis Wes---‘ written in a hand of saec. XVII. In the same hand, some Latin sentences written in Latin, beg. ‘Moralia quam mores producuntur…’.

The fragment came to collections of the Borgå Gymnasium’s library at an unknown date.
