Inscriptions and marks:
The number "5" written by pen corresponds to the number found in the catalogue of the exhibition "Pergaminhos Que Foram Parte de Missais, Leccionários e Antifonários em uso na Diocese…". The exhibition was held in the Museu de Lamego, in 1976. The fragment has been identified for the first time as part of a Visigothic book by a monk of the abbey of San Girolamo in Rome in 1977.
Remarks:
The visigothic script shows some influence of the French "minuscula". The Occitanic notation is written on dry point line. Possibly, the music was added at a second stage.
