E caudata appears in script ("littera minuscula protogothiga textualis libraria formata", continental) for elisions ae and oe. Early quadratic notation on a brown four-line staff (7-8 mm).

V on p. 8. SRA KA Finska Cameralia 94 "Siäla Fisken och Tullen Anno 59" (one bif.) derives from the same codex as this one. Compare its style with Gjerlöw 1979 pp. 31-32 and pi. 7 (Oslo, RA Lat.fragm. 291), in which the notation is similar and which, according to Gjerlöw, dates back to the end of the 12th century. The latter can be associated with monastic uses of the Fleury and Saint-Germain-des-Pres regions. In a letter (18th of June 2000) to the present writer Dr. K.D. Hartzell suggests that this manuscript was produced in the first half of the 12th century. In another letter (18th of August 2000) he associates this fragment with monastic cursus and English schools. ANTIPHONARIUM, northern French or English. The fragment contains a rare office for St. Bartholomew.
The wrapper in the Swedish National Archives, mentioned over, includes fragmentary offices for St. Mary Magdalen (22th of July), the Transfiguration (transfigurationis Domini, 26th or 27th of July, or 6th of August, concerning the date see Gjerlöw & Helander 1964 c. 324), and St. Lawrence (10th of August). The two first especially are worth attention, cf. Gjerlöw 1979 pp. 179-181 and 188-189.The office for St. Mary Magdalen is the so-called English redaction, Saxer 1959 pp. 300-302 and 379-380.
