PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Parchment, 152 x 131 mm, three musical staves ruled in red ink, three fragmentary lines of text.

Eru[ctavit Evovae]; the initial D probably introduced the responsory for the first lesson at Matins for the Feast of St Andrew (30 November), Dum ambularet Dominus iuxta mare Galileae (Rom 10: 4), and would have been on the verso of the original leaf.
