TEXT IN LATIN
- Germany , 14th century
Germany, 14th century. 250 x 175 mm. (9 7/8 x 6 7/8"). Six extant lines of text and music in a gothic hand.
Rubrics and staves in red, one large initial in red, and two large decorative initials in black and red. With the binding's original paper labels on spine, remnants of old paper lining on verso. Somewhat soiled and stained, but a good specimen overall.
Recovered from a 17th century binding, this specimen presents an excellent opportunity to examine how Medieval manuscripts were used in the construction of later bindings. The two preserved spine labels tell us that the leaf previously covered a copy of Alphonso Stadlmayer's "Philosophia Tripartita," first published in 1650..
