Book Decoration and Musical Notation

  • Musical Notation

    Messine Gothic musical notation written on four red staff lines. The C clef can be identified only on the third staff of the fragment, on the third line, as the remaining staves are cut off at the relevant point. The presence of a custos cannot be confirmed either, for the same reason mentioned above.present. The style of the musical notation suggests a German-Saxon origin, similar to the notation of contemporary fragments preserved at Mediaș.
