This late medieval fragment includes a part of the hymn, Deus creator omnium, sung at first Vespers on Sunday and one Saturday afternoon in the weeks between Epiphany and Lent. It also shows part of Libera me, the ninth (and last) Respond at Vigils of the Dead. These items occur in the latter part of the liturgical Psalter (either a separate book, or part of an Antiphoner) of Sarum Use.

![This loose music fragment was found inside the binding of one volume of the works of the Italian Reformer Girolamo Zanchi. The strip was cut down from a leaf of a Gradual for Sarum Use from the proper chants for Mass on Passion Sunday: Sequence Eripe me domine, Offertory Confitebor tibi domine, Communion Hoc corpus pro vobis; and on Monday in Passion Week: Introit Miserere mei domine.
