173 paper folios, 510 x 370. Modern pencil foliation, 1-173, by J. J. Maier (some folios lack numbers, but all included in enumeration).

Original covers of white leather over boards, stamped with ornamental designs; binding and covers probably the work of Kaspar Schinnagl (BenteNW). No index.
Earliest layer (ff. 78'-91, 97'-120, 147'-173) copied by one or two scribes, whose hands also appear in MunBS 35-8 (BenteNW); ff. 1'-77, 92'-96, and 120'-146 probably copied by Lucas Wagenrieder (see general index for other manuscripts copied by the same scribe). No initials or decoration. No watermark in earliest layer; watermark on remaining folios is coat of arms of city of Kaufbeuren (generally resembles Briquet # 1008ff).
Before 1531 (earliest layer); ca. 1531-40 (remainder of manuscript) (BenteNW). Copied in Munich, for use by the court chapel of Wilhelm IV, Duke of Bavaria (1493-1550). Kept in Hofkapelle library until end of 18th century, then transferred to ducal court library, whose holdings formed foundation of present Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.
