Lacunae between fols. 6 and 7 and between 15 and 16.
                Folia seem to have gone missing early on, as the rather haphazard
                  structure of the manuscript shows signs of early repairs. The first quire of pt.
                  II was made by pasting together two singletons, and it seems that the last quire
                  was constructed by pasting two bifolia (or pairs of singletons) at both ends of a
                  quaternion (from which one folio has been excised, apparently intentionally,
                  between fols. 14 and 15). Aside from the makeshift binding, unlikely to be the
                  work of any well-established or well provisioned workshop, the book is in fairly
                  good condition, with only some dirt on the folia.
              I: text and notation in one column on six lines, ruled in ink; II: text and
                  notation in one column on eight lines (or text only on as many as thirty lines),
                  ruled in hard-point (for the folia with notes) and ink (for the folia with only
                  text, and all text lines on folia with notes), pricking for each line in the outer
                  margins of the leaves.
              Pt. I: Gothic cursive of 
            saec. XVI
; pt. II: Gothic textualis of 1
saec. XV
.Pt I: decadent square notation on four black lines; II: square notation
              on four red lines.
            Pt. I: The initials of chants have been drawn in ink and touched in red. Pt. II:
                Plain red lombards for the beginnings of chants; rubrics in red.
            Apparently medieval binding of light brown leather over boards, with raised bands
                and one clasp (defective). Strips of parchment have been used to reinforce the
                binding of pt. I.
            A rather makeshift manual prepared for use in the 
diocese of
                  Turku
, and had found its way to Taivassalo
 by the later half of sixteenth century
. Somewhat earlier, but possibly already in
                  Taivassalo
, a few leaves containing the
                genealogy of Jesus set to music were added to it.Inside the front cover, apparently as pen trials, in a hand of saec. XVI–XVII:
                ‘Töfsala bok’.
            The manuscript may have already been in bad shape at this point, but it was found
                in its present condition by 
            J. Gummerus
 in the early twentieth century
 in the
                archives of the Turku Cathedral Chapter
. It may have arrived there c
. 1826
 as the result of the chapter’s request that parishes send older
                materials for examination. The materials were in some cases returned to their
                parishes (this happened to the books from Tammela now in the library of Åbo
                Akademi), but at least some remained at Turku and survived the great fire that
                destroyed much of the city in 1827 (Schalin 1946, 6 n. 2
, cites the circulars of the
                chapter, no. 237, of 5 November 1828, and no. 264, of 20 June 1833, which indicate
                that several manuscripts that had been sent to Turku as requested had not been
                collected and had become disordered in the fire, and were now kept in the
                archbishop’s household).Cataloguer
