Fols. 1r–33v: Fragment of an antiphonary with Easter feasts and the sequence of St Olav, which suggests a Nordic origin. The leaves have at some point been misbound and are given here in a reconstructed order.

 Paper (fols. 2–33) and parchment (fol. 1) 33 folios. 14 20,5 10,5 16,5 XXXXX Modern foliation in pencil. There are several leaves missing and cropped. The surviving ones have been misbound and do not represent the original order. Fol. 11 is loose and should come before fol. 2, which is misplaced. Fol. 14 is also misplaced as it contains a continuation of the text on fol. 33. Fols. 9 and 10, and 22 and 23 have been pasted together in the gutter. One column with vertical bounding lines; 8 lines of notation, 30 lines of text.

One main hand writing a cursive of saec. XV2 or saec. XVI1

 Quadratic notation on black four-line staves.

Simple pen-drawn initials in black; often even these have been left unexecuted.

Tacketed quires without covers.

The manuscript is part of a Latin antiphonary, probably written in the second half of saec. XV or first half of saec. XVI. The presence of a sequence for St Olav suggest a Nordic origin. The manuscript has lost several leaves and some of the surviving ones have been placed in an incorrect order.

The manuscript stems from the collections of the Finnish Society of Church History, which have been deposited at the National Archives of Finland. The envelope in which it is kept contains a slip with the note that it was a donation in 1909 that had perhaps been made by the Finnish scholar and antiquary, Eeli Granit-Ilmoniemi (1866–1945).
