      • Content Description
        * Dom. in Palmis (Palm Sunday):
        Confundantur omnes inimici
        Dominus mecum est tanquam
        Et vim faciebant qui
        Opprobrium factus sum nimis
        Ingrediente domino in sanctam
        Cumque audissent quia venit
        * Locuti sunt adversum me
      • Remarks

        The present lines were responsories or verse responsories and suggest the fragment is from an antiphonal, likely for matins.

    History

    Provenance

    The fragment is from the collection of Jozef Maria De Smet (Kortrijk). 

    Host Volume

    Remarks

    The leaf was probably used as a cover for an unidentified archival register. An annotation in the right upper corner of the verso side reads: 'Re. De Capitulo 1641'.
