Fols. 116r–v, de sanctis, the feast of St Andrew (imperf.).

[116r] [ ... be]|atus Andreas relictis retibus ... [116v] ... tamquam margaritis ornata |.

On fol. 115v, a hand of the later half saec. XVI has added the antiphon ‘Magna et mirabilia sunt opera tua ... sit nomen tuum in Secula’ with notes (on five lines).

Occasional annotations marking the biblical sources of chants (e.g. fols. 6v, 16r–18v).

On fol. 107v, a contemporary hand has drawn a grid of 16 × 14 cells, with ‘DEUS ULTOR EXISTIT’ written in the first row of cells and ‘ET VINDICAT MALUM’ in the final column.

Schalin (1946, 43) notes that the book contains an office for St Henry. Taitto (1992, 425) indicates that the common of several martyrs has been designated for this purpose. This seems to rest on the fact that a number of other contemporary manuscripts explicitly connect that office with St Henry; however, in the present manuscript the office in question has not been rubricated in any way.

In any case the very selective sanctoral of this manuscript reflects Lutheran tastes, with only biblical saints (and possibly St Henry).

 Paper 116 + 2 folios. 17 20,5 13-13,5 15,5-16 Modern foliation in pencil roughly in the middle of the upper margins of the rectos. 1[A] + (IV–1)7 + IV15 + 4IV39 + (IV–1)46 + IV54 + V64 + IV72 + II75 + 5IV115 + 1116 + 1[B] Catchwords almost regularly at the ends of both recto- and verso-sides of each folio, if a chant is continued on the next page. A modern hand, possibly the same that supplied the foliation, recorded the identifications of some of the feasts in pencil (e.g. fol. 76r). The book is in fair condition, with occasional tearing to the margins of folia (repaired); the gatherings have been reconstructed. There are leaves missing from the beginning of the book, after fols. 15, 75, and 115, and at the end. text and notes in one column on nine lines, blind-ruled on the innermost folio of a quire(?)

At least two somewhat inexpert hands writing varieties of Humanist Minuscule.

 Decadent square notation of four black lines. On fol. 115v, an additional hand of saec. XVI writes Gothic Cursive and decadent square notation on five black lines.

Black pen-drawn Gothic majuscules (or on occasion, simpler majuscules) for the initials of individual chants, occasionally decorated with black diamond- or hash-patterns. Feasts have been projected to begin with larger pen-drawn and decorated black versals, but for a few exceptions (fols. 2v, 6v, 48v) these have been left unexecuted. Rubrics, if they exist, are distinguished with larger lettering or the use of versals.

Modern binding in plain cardboard.

 Sometime after the middle of the sixteenth century, a copy of a medieval antiphonary was made, with modifications for current use. This might have taken place at Pöytyä, where the book was apparently found before it came to the National Library.

Fol. 1r, a saec. XIX–XX note in ink: ‘Pöytis? (Nykyrka?)’.

Inside the back cover, in pencil: ‘M1999-14’.

The book apparently arrived to the National Library of Finland from Pöytyä church. Olav D.
