Description

Rubrics; alternating red lombard capital letters and cadels
  • Musical Notation

    German-Messine neumes on a four-line staff in red; custos not included; C and F letter clefs employed. Music notation similar to that found in sources from contemporary northern Poland, especially from the Diocese of Chełmno; it stands calligraphically close to the notation of the Gradual from the collegiate cathedral of Chełmża (L 35), currently housed in the Diocesan Library in Pelplin (Biblioteka Diecezjalna im. Biskupa Jana Bernarda Szlagi w Pelplinie); for description see https://manuscripta.pl/manuscripts/42572/).

    History

    Provenance

    The host volume is a part of a manuscript collection which was brought from Elbing to Cambridge by an Anglican priest, Richard Pernham, and his wife Mary (her name appears on f. 2v). The Pernhams stayed in Elbing from 1618 to 1626 and were connected to the local English trading post. Some of the volumes contain provenance evidence of the Brigittine monastery, which, in turn, took over (at least partially) the library of the local Teutonic castle.
