Title: Leaf from a Missal, Germany, Circa 1450-1500. Latin Manuscript on Parchment, With Musical Notation. Recovered from a Binding
Condition: Good
A leaf from a manuscript Latin Missal, produced during the mid to late 15th century, likely from Germany. The text is written in Latin and is a pleasing Gothic script written in black ink, bearing large initials, with lines of musical notation on four-line staves in black ink.
The manuscript itself was once used as binder’s waste, saved from a bookbinding, and used as a pastedown.
This manuscript is written in a 9-line format, with 9 staves of music accompanying.
One manuscript on parchment, 28.8 x 19.5 cm
This manuscript is in good shape with rubbing and soiling to the parchment. Two corners are heavily worn down, with a bit of text loss.
