Manuscript Summary:
Manuscript Summary
This Gradual, made in the fourteenth century, contains chants for the liturgical year, the proper of the saints, requiem, kyriale, as well as an extensive collection of sequences. Three fourteenth-century hands produced the Gothic minuscule as well as German neumes on brown, four-line staves. Additions and corrections are made by multiple hands from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Notably, there are initials with grotesque faces as well as many liturgical instructions. The volume was in the Augustinian Canonry of Kreuzlingen from the eighteenth century at the latest, and has Hebrew- and Latin-script binding fragments. (glo)
