Quadratic notation on a red four-line staff (20 mm, ruled with a rastrum), custos, b rotundum, linea (not many). Photograph off. 1" on p. 213.

ANTIPHONARIUM, Carthusian. In the table of eight hundred sources, published in Hesbert 1975 pp. 35-41, five manuscripts coincide with this fragment, Nos. 614, 632, 690, 719 and 860. All are books of the Carthusian order, clearly differing from other sources listed by Hesbert. According to Becker 1971 p. 246 the same continuum of great responsories is for the first Sunday of Advent.
See the remark accompanying the description of Antiphoner No. 188, concerning Carthusian sources in Sweden.
