| Description | Leaf from a noted missal, parchment. Features chants and text in two columns with German Gothic 'hufnagel' musical notation on a 4-line stave with red F and yellow C lines. Main body text in a Gothic script in black ink with large red and blue initials, red rubrics and red highlights
The recto has the page identifier "lxxxv". The text appears to be for mass on Palm Sunday. The first two lines are the ending of a lesson from the Book of Exodus: "...vos de terra Egypti et mane videbitis gloriam eius". This is followed by a sung responsory from John 11: "Collegerunt pontifices et Pharysei concilium et dicebant...". The text for the ordinary of the mass continues in the second column of the recto and onto the verso. The verso ends with the opening of another antiphon: "Cum appropinquaret dominus iherosolimam misit..."
There are two annotations at the top of the verso in a later hand, possibly 17th century(?), which run perpendicular to the main text. A very faint "Sexta vex" appears above the first column, and "No. XVIII" is written above the second. |
