Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
This richly decorated Antiphonary contains chants, antiphons, and hymns for the liturgical year from Easter to Advent, as well as for numerous feast-days of saints. The manuscript, written by multiple hands, was produced in 1493 for the charterhouse near Freiburg im Breisgau and later arrived in the Ittingen charterhouse. In addition to artistic pen-flourished initials, it contains four historiated initals with narrative representations of Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, and Corpus Christi, as well as a lot of additional liturgical material, including cantica, obituaries, and fragments of a missal.
