Description
Manuscript, on German watermarked paper, of an antiphonal probably from the monastery at Benedictbeuren, Germany. The text is in an angular gothic hand with square notation on four-line staves. The text lacks a leaf early inthe volume and has a new text for Saint Benedict inserted later in the volume, reflecting changes in the liturgy. Numerous notations in the margins reflect changes also. Some abbreviations are expanded, indicating difficulty in using the texts. On the back pastedown is an index of feasts.
