Seven leaves from a Latin codex liturgical or service book on parchment, probably a choral antiphonary. The text comes from the choral portion of the Divine Office for the Holy Week Triduum, beginning with Matins on Holy Thursday and going through Vespers on Holy Saturday.
Support: parchment; Extent: 1 item (7 leaves) : 77 cm
Provenance unidentified but possibly Spanish.
Date uncertain; possibly 16th century.
The text is set for monophonic chant for choir. The music is written in square Gregorian notation on a four-line staff.
Several of the capital letters are decorated with green, blue and gold. Red is used to indicate the beginning of antiphons, psalm verses, etc.
These are pages that we pulled aside that disrupted the flow of the manuscript reader. These may be bindings, inserts, bookmarks, and various other oddities.
