Reconstruction Summary

Two partial quires from an antiphoner containing the Office for St. Lawrence (Vespers, Matins, Lauds), written in a post-Gothic italic hand with rubrication and large red and blue initials, some with black pen-flourishing. Music is in black square notation on red five-line staves. Contemporary notes (1937) already identified the contents and suggested an early 16th-century date. Later provenance links the fragment to Alta Verapaz (Guatemala) before donation to Northwestern in 2016. The surviving sequence is foliated 16–34 with one folio missing (f.33).
