Manuscript on parchment of seventeen miniatures (all versos), formerly inserted in MS 287, which were removed and rebound in their present form when recognized as the work of the 19th-century facsimilist, Caleb Wing. They were intended to replace originals excised from MS 287 at an uncertain date. As suggested by the format of MS 287, there were probably only sixteen miniatures in the original program

Manuscript on parchment of a portion of a single leaf intended to represent a fragment of a large noted service book. On the recto, historiated initial and beginning of a hymn. Verso blank. The fragment is an imitation of a 15th-century antiphonal (?): each word is a unit, not stretched to fit the rhythm of the chant; the colors are inaccurate and unmodulated; the gold is applied in too high relief; the insect in the margin is an anachronistic insertion; there is no text on the verso; and the parchment has been varnished
Description:
In Latin., Script: Written in round liturgical gothic., and Both the letters and the notes (square, on 4-line red staves) appear to have been written first in pale black ink or lead, then traced in opaque black ink. One initial, a poor imitation of the type found in Tuscan antiphonals of the early fifteenth century; Pentecost, with orange, blue, green and pink acanthus against gold, thickly edged in black, hair-spray, gold dots and one insect in margin.
