Model 1080/11: D Gb Ms. Scholz 8.2.1 (Scholz made a mistake at the line break in m. 45 of the model. In the model the verso/recto leaves are labelled continuously which does not apply to the copy; so mm. 52 - 68 are placed between mm. 45 and 59b while mm. 45 - 51 are missing. The measures 67, 68 which were forgotten in the model at first and which were added at the bottom later, where forgotten in the copy, too, and where added on a little leaf affixed on f. 2r.)
