This manuscript contains an incomplete psalter in Latin, written in the 15th century, and of Dutch origin. It contains from Psalm lxxx, Exultate Deo, to end of Psalter. The ferial anthems are included passim, and the chapters, hymns, versicles, responses, and collects of the ferial day hours are added in their places after the corresponding sections of Psalm cxviii, Beati immaculati (Prime, f. 62r; Tierce, f. 68r; Sext, f. 71r; Nones and Compline, f. 78r), in smaller lettering and closer lines, often with cues only. The hymn Iam Lucis precedes Psalm cxvii, f. 55v, and Quicumque vult follows the section Retribue of Psalm cxviii, f. 59r. The last folios contain the Confitebor tibi domine quoniam iratus, followed by the other five Canticles said on week-days at Laud, and musical notation of the eight Psalm tones.
