| Description | Fragment of a leaf from an incunable breviary, parchment. Includes printed 4-line staves but the musical notation has not been added. Main body text in a single column written in a Gothic bookhand in black ink with red initials and rubrics.
The text is for the office of Compline and consists of two Psalms on the recto, Psalms 90 and 134. Approximately two-thirds of the verso is taken up by the blank staves surrounded by rubrics. This is followed by the hymn "Te lucis ante terminum". There are two large initials decorated with faces.
There are many annotations not contemporary with the main text, mostly scribbles and doodles. |
