Ms. 003010

Two leaves, not conjoint, of a Temporale containing parts of the propers for the masses in Advent. The leaves contain eight lines of music each with four-line staves using squared notation. Pen trailings onthe capitals indicate a date and location of thirteenth-century France. The leaves contain eight blue and red initials and one fine historiated initial in pink, gray, and blue. Gift of Lois Brown.

Terentius Afer, Publius
94 leaves, 27 cm x 18 cm.
Ms. Codex 001999

Comoediae sex cum argumentis. Text written in Ferrara in 1462 in a fine humanist hand. The title leaf contains a white vine border with a coat-of-arms supported by putti. The text includes stage directions in red as well as contemporary marginal notations. The colophon date of 1362 is most certainly an error for 1462.
