The codex contains an anthology of Italian music compiled in Florence (Firenze) during the first twenty years of the 15th century, with over 300 songs from the 14th till early 15th cy. by famous composers such as Francesco Landini, Andrea dei Servi, Gherardello da Firenze, Donato da Firenze, Niccolo da Perugia, and others. Its name is derived from the previous owner's name Antonio Squarcialupi, Florentine organist 1417-1480, attested by an inscription on the opening leaf. Later on it passed to Giuliano de Medici, then it passed to the Palatine Library and at the end of the 18th cy. it went to the Laurentian Library where it is kept up till present. The magnificent miniatures and illuminations in colour and gold - reproduced in the facsimile as well - were produced in the Florentine scriptorium of Santa Maria degli Angeli around 1410-'15.
