Book Decoration and Musical Notation
One fragmentary cadel (2 lines).
A characteristic example of Bohemian notation from the late 15th century. The pes neume groups appear in a displaced, right-shifted form. The pes, resembling that found in Tyniec and associated with Polish notation, shows some similarity; however, structurally it differs entirely from the Prague form. It uses a staff of four red lines. The C clef is positioned on the third line, and a custos is also present.

History
The Bohemian musical notation suggests an origin in that region.
The host volumes were printed in Bologna in 1662-1663. In 1673 the book belonged to a person whose name was erased: "††††††† 1673" (title page of C.52182). It subsequently belonged to an Augustinian monk: "<sub rasura:> S<um> P<ii> P<atris> Er<emitarium> Ord<inis> A<augustini> R<everendi> D<omini> Danielis? Krancz?" (title page of C.52182). In the eighteenth century the volume belonged to the Benedictine abbey of Pannonhalma: "Conventus Sancti Martini O.S.P. Benedicti in Tertio Monte Pannoniae" (title page of C.52182). Finally, in 1833 the volume was at the Royal High School of Cluj: "Bibliothecae Lycei Regalis Claudiopolitani 1833" (title page of C.52182).
