Graduale
Dominica III. Adventus
F-igff
General Information
One hand, standard late Northern Textualis.
Original Condition
1 partial leaf
The height of the text line is 20 mm, and the height of the staves is 30 mm. The size does not include the turn-ins.
Current Condition
Legible; both the text and the musical notation show only occasional wear. Roughly half of the width of the written area, and almost 5/7 staves have survived.
Book Decoration and Musical Notation
Flourished cadel with mask (black)
Metz-Gothic musical notation written on five red stave lines. The type and position of the clefs cannot be verified, as the relevant part of the fragment has been cut off. A custos is not visible, but its original presence is likely, since the fragment belongs to a later fifteenth-century manuscript tradition in which the five-line staves system normally included a custos.

History
On account of the musical notation, Transylvanian origin cannot be excluded.
The host volume was printed in Rome in 1622, but it was bound in Central Europe, and possibly in Transylvania. In the 17th or 18th c. it belonged to the Jesuit College of Cluj: "Collegii Societatis Jesu Claudiopolitani" (title page, s. XVII-XVIII), and then to its successor, the Royal High school of Cluj: "Bibliothecae R. Lyccei Claudiopolitani 1832" (title page).
