 File
Identifier: Adv.MS.84.1.8

Scope and Contents

The fragments appear to belong to a leaf from the winter portion of the missal or breviary, possibly from Advent.

The notation and corresponding text is arranged in double columns: the notation black on a red four-line stave; the text in black below the stave. The rubrics are in red; the capitals variously in blue and red.

The fragments were formerly used as binding strips in a copy (pressmark Claud.4.9) of ‘De Scriptoribus Ecclesiasticis’ (1546) by Joannes Tritthemius.
