On fol. an addition in a hand of
saec. XVI

In part I the openings of the manuscript (fols. 3–165) have original
numbering in two separate series for the
de tempore

(A I–G II) sections. Modern
foliation in pencil runs throughout the manuscript in the upper-right-hand corners
of recto-sides. IV

In part I, many openings were glued together by the original scribe, at
least in part to cover mistakes. The openings have since been opened, and have
been included in the modern foliation. Part I is missing leaves after fols. 17,
18, 53, 58, and 152. Part II is missing one leaf, probably its first. Folia
throughout the book have been heavily restored, with reinforcing paper pasted
along the outer edges of folia; also the binding has been reinforced. While fols.
I–II in part II have been trimmed both in their upper and lower margins to match
the size of fols. 1–190, the lower margins of fols. III–VII have been
folded.
In part I, text and notation on eight lines in
one column, ruled in ink; in part II, text and notation on fourteen lines in one
column (fifteen lines in two columns on fols. VIv–VIIv).
Part I: one main scribe writing in Gothic Hybrida. He identifies himself as
Benedictus
on fol. . At least
three additional hands.Part II: One scribe writing
saec.
XVI
minuscule. He identifies himself on fol. VIr
within an
initial: ‘Zacharias Simonis Zatrius(?)
Uschelensis
1586
’. Presumably he was a chaplain of the church in
Uskela.Decadent square notation on four black lines.
Part I: Red lombards (occasionally decorated with floral patterns) for the
beginnings of feasts, pen-drawn initials (touched with red) for the beginnings of
chants. Rubrication.
Part I: completely monochromatic, with pen-drawn decorated lombards for the
beginnings of feasts / sections. Gothic majuscules for the initials of chants on
fols.

.Modern full (fake) leather binding. When
Malin (1925, 130)
examined
the manuscript it was still bound in ‘Original-Lederband, mit Holzdeckel
(Eiche)’.Part I is a
gradual
following the use of the diocese of
Turku
, prepared c
. 1518
entirely by the scribe who
identifies himself as Benedictus
in the verses on
fol. 1r. I: ca. 1518
; II: 1586
.
Very soon after it was written the book belonged to the
Pertteli
chapel of Uskela
parish. Part
II is a Lutheran liturgical miscellany copied by the otherwise unknown Zacharias Simonis of Uskela
in 1586
.
The parts thus have a similar provenance, but it is not clear when they were united in
a single volume. The size of the leaves of part II suggests that they were probably
originally bound separately from part I.
