Extent: 1 ms. score (5-14, 23-56, 59-60, 65-161, [162-170] p., bound) : music ; 18 x 13 cm. (8vo)
Note:
Place of production suggested by reference on p. 114 to Saint Odilia, abbess and patroness of Alsace: "In translatione S. Odiliae Ord. Patrona." In elegant rounded roman letters and graceful musical notation, with other music and prayers added later by at least two other, less-skilled copyists. Music arranged on red 4-line staves, with square notation in black; four staves per page; large decorative initials, some in red, and some in red, black, and gold; prayers, responses, and instructions in red and black (mostly red). Watermark of the letter "P" atop three circles suggests that paper was manufactured in the Netherlands, possibly Loosduinen, around 1599; cf. Briquet no. 1371.
