Bound with:
1. Georg Rhaw, Enchiridion utriusque musicae practicae. (Enchiridion musicae mensuralis. Isagoge Iohannes Galliculi de cantus compositione.) Leipzig: Valentin Schumann, 1520. This work is in three parts and has been previously considered as three separate items, hence the shelfmark (item 4) given to Jacobus de Reno.
Gatherings d and e only, containing In laudem musicae artis.
Binding: Sixteenth-century Flemish(?) calf over wooden boards, with remains of clasps and catches. On both covers a triple panel of St John the Martyr; of a boar, a lion, an eagle, and a dragon; and of St John the Baptist.
Size: 156 × 108 × 24 mm.

Two parchment leaves from a twelfth-century noted manuscript used as pastedowns have now been cut out, but their impression is still visible on the wooden boards.
On the front endleaf five lines of noted text (four staves) have been added in an early hand: ‘[Antiphon.] Felix namque es . . . Christus deus noster.' A few ‘nota' marks have been added in an early hand. On e8v an inscription in an early English hand: ‘Thorseday afore ye conception Nicholaus day.’
Provenance: On the rear endleaf an inscription in a different English hand: ‘To my friende Robart Jackson at Baldon 1506(?). Primo Maii.' Anthony Wood (1632-1695); see Kiessling, Anthony Wood, 516, no. 5548. Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1695. Transferred to the Bodleian Library in 1858-60.
