General Information
Current Condition
Noted missal leaf used to bind together two sixteenth-century books printed in Basel. Though the leaf wraps around the boards, paper pastedowns cover anything that may have been visible on the inside covers and cut off at least one of the upper rows of visible text. The parchment on the spine is sufficiently damaged (and partially covered by a now-faded label) to obscure the text.
Book Decoration and Musical Notation
Rubrics and red initials (2-lines high) throughout. A four-line littera notabilior in red, blue, and green marks the beginning of the Common of an Apostle.
Two chants are notated with adiastematic neumes: one for St Katherine and another for the Common of an Apostle (g03426 and g01259 respectively in the CANTUS).
