Pontificale
Ordo ad Synodum
F-0hru
General Information
Northern Textualis; one hand.
Original Condition
The texts are not continuous, so this is not the inside of the internal bifolium in the quire. It is impossible to establish the exact order of the text.
Current Condition
The upper part of the leaf on the front cover is missing, while the leaf on the back cover is missing an entire column, so only about half of this leaf is preserved.
Book Decoration and Musical Notation
The rubricated initials (S-ancte/S-ancta) in the litany of saints form a kind of torsade column. Rubricated and highlighted initials.

(back cover) (col. b) [Et cui forte quod dicitur displiceat sine aliquo scrupulo contentionis palam omnibus conferat quatenus Deo mediante et hoc ad optimum statum perveniat ita ut nec discordans contentio ad subversionem iustitie locum inveniat]// nec iterum in perquirenda veritate vigor nostri ordinis vel solicitudo tepescat. Post alocutionem tractent apud se de divinis misteriis et de ecclesiasticis disciplinis vel quibuslibet necessariis canonesque ibi legantur aut liber officiorum. Nec aliquis inde exeat antequam omnia ista explicentur et ita totis tribus diebus agatur nam de hiis qui foris sunt si quis concilium pro qualibet causa appellare voluerit archidiacono ecclesie metropolitane causam suam intimet et ille in concilium proferat et ita introeundi detur ei licentia.//

Remarks
The leaf on the front cover, containing a litany, probably precedes in the original manuscript the leaf on the back cover. Both leaves record some of the components of the procedure for a synodal assembly: see Pontificale Vesprimiense (Budapest: Argumentum Kiadó, 2014), section XV. De sancto synodo ordo Romanus, qualiter concilium agatur, p.102-104. The litany may, in fact, follow the text on the back cover, belonging to another rite/ ceremony described in the missing inner bifolium/bifolia.
