Missale
F-jx2h
General Information
One hand, average Northern textualis gothica. The spiked tops of such letters as a, n, m, p etc., and the dotting of the i argue for a dating in the second half of the fifteenth century.
Original Condition
The catchword on what is now the left folio on the flesh-side of the open bifolium shows that we are dealing with the outer bifolium of the quire. If the quire was a quaternio, the pages would be:
*1r (flesh-side, right)
*1v (hair-side, left)
*8r (hair-side, right)
*8v (flesh-side, left)
Current Condition
Restored at the National Unity Museum in Alba Iulia in 2021.
Book Decoration and Musical Notation
Alternating red/blue lombards (1-2 lines).

History
Transylvania?
The fragment was detached from an unspecified volume at some point in the twentieth century, and was kept in a box.
It was maculated in Transylvania, and used as a wrapper in the seventeenth century. This is demonstrated by such early-modern notes as: “Georgius Rakoczi (?) ††† Transylvaniae Princeps…” (? George Rákóczi I and II, princes of Transylvania 1630-1648 and 1648-1660); “Sigismundus” (? Sigismund Rákóczi, prince of Transylvania 1607-1608)– both on the outside of the bifolium. Other notes include: “Nulla calamitas sola. Sequitur patrem sua proles”.
