Slight flaking or rubbing of pigment, text and neumes rubbed on verso; tipped to a velvet backing . The text cited in the rubric, Laetabitur deserta (Is. 35), is the second reading for Mass on Saturday of Ember Week in Advent.

Music written on a five line stave usually, though not always, indicates a date after 1500.
