'Fragmenta Tongrensia' of the O.-L.-Vrouwekerk in Tongeren. Manuscript, composed of several parts, containing (among other things) a necrologium (partly), readings, and some offices for saints and feasts. According to Boeren (see literature) most parts go back to ca 1300 or the 14th century; however, some parts might be older.

The chants are provided with Hufnagelschrift, resembling the notation of Utrecht, Aachen, Trier and Stavelot. For a full description of the contents of the manuscript see Boeren; the parts provided with music are:
