Pointed out that the setting of Morte merce (both partes, on fols 12v-13r and 14v-15r) is a version unique to this source that shares with Montecassino and Escorial B only a resembling version of the cantus and of the tenor of the first part. According to David Fallows this could be an "adaptation" of Cornago's supposed original in the other sources.
