Reconstruction Summary

This single parchment folio, identified as the missing fol. 89 from the ninth-century cantatorium Laon BM 239, preserves a sequence of Alleluia chants. It is written in Caroline minuscule and furnished with Lotharingian adiastematic neumes. Later annotated “Laon n° 59” in the upper recto, the folio is significantly damaged, with warped parchment and areas of loss from humidity.
