      • Content Description

        Chants seem to be mostly responsories (see, for example, fol. [1]r, col. a: 'Deus Israel propter te sustinui improperium', Cantus ID 006425) and antiphonals (e.g. fol. [3]r, col. b: 'Afferte domino filii dei adorate', CantusID 001303). These are interspersed with prayers (e.g. fol. [1]r, col. b: 'reminiscere miserationum tuarum dominus et famulos tuos eterna protectione sanctifica', from Sacramentarium Gelasianum) and readings from the Bible (e.g. fol. [1]v, col. b: from Ier. 7:11 onwards, 'Ego, ego sum: ego vidi, dicit dominus').

    History

    Provenance

    City of Rupelmonde
    Remarks

    Fragments were both used as binding for archival registers. The second bifolium (fol. [3]-[4]) was used as the wrapper for the register of an urban law court of Rupelmonde, the civil 'ferie', in the late sixteenth century, according to provision mark on fol. [3]r.

    Fol. [1]-[2] was probably used in as a wrapper for another Rupelmonde register. Fol. [1]r has a note in sixteenth-century handwriting: 'Den pegels van Broode' ('the legally allowed size of bread').
