In the fragment, the gospel antiphons of the 5th week’s feriae in Lent and the beginning of Palm Sunday’s Office (first Vespers, Compline, the beginning of Matins) remained. Though the set of Benedictus- and Magnificat-antiphons is more or less unchanging in the Central-European traditions, their arrangement appearing in our fragment corresponds exactly with the set found in sources from Salzburg and Passau. The range of parallels is further narrowed by the prescription of the antiphon of Palm Sunday’s first nocturn: the antiphon Missus sum oves in this function is highly atypical. It only occurs as a traditional element in codices of the Diocese of Passau. See Robert Klugseder–Gionata Brusa, Der Liber ordinarius Pataviensis.
