Description | Double folio from a noted breviary, parchment. Text in black in two columns interspersed with musical notation in a German Gothic 'hufnagel' style on a 4-line stave drawn in black with red F and yellow C lines. Also large red capitals and rubrics. Folio 1 recto begins with a reading from 1 Maccabees 3:40-59 followed by a chant, "Vidi dominum sedentem super solium" from the Summer Histories, Prophets (De Prophetis). The verso has text from Ezekiel 1:5 and two more chants, "Aspice domine de sede sancta", and "Aspice domine quia facta est", also from De Prophetis. The text on f.1v ends part way through Ezekiel 1:10 and does not appear to continue on to folio 2 recto, indicating that this bifolium was part of a gathering. Folio 2 recto has readings from the Prophecy of Abdias 1:1-5 and Jonas 1:7, and ends with the chant "Qui caelorum contines thronos". Folio 2 verso begins with a reading from the Prophecy of Micheas 1:1-9 and 2 John. In the second column there is the homily of St Augustine, a chant, "Cum sublevasset oculos Jesus", and a reading from Jeremiah 23:5-6 There are several later pencil annotations, including "XIV" in the left hand margin of f.1r and "f XIII i" on f.2v. Folio 2v also has a faintly visible heading "CLXXXXV". |
