 File
Identifier: MS.5461

Scope and Contents

The leaves formed the cover of a sixteenth-century cartulary of the lordship of Jedburgh Abbey. Three leaves (folios 1-3) come from the end of the 'Temporale', and five (folios 4-8) from the earlier part of the 'Sanctorale'. The text appears to have been copied from an Augustinian source and the music added in another hand from a Sarum book. The initials are in red, with blue line ornament, or vice versa.
