Manuscript, on paper, in a single hand, probably that of Leonhard Haslinger, containing fishing instructions and formulas in three parts: instructions for tying artificial flies, recipes for angling baits, and descriptions of baits to use in fish traps. The tract is written on folios 212r-213v of the Haslinger Breviary, presumably on leaves left blank when the original liturgical text was copied.
