Description

Single leaf of a Gradual, likely Spanish. Obtained at a thrift store in Calgary, Alberta.
Writing area 406 x 279 mm; full dimensions not given, but likely very similar, as the margins are very small. Clearly trimmed significantly from a larger original. A partial page number (13?) visible in upper right. One upper corner has a marginal doodle or curlicue.
Six five-line red staves. Square notation; downward custodes. Simple, tall and thin red initials. Prescissa text hand.
Seemingly sixteenth or seventeenth century, with substantial evidence of erasure and reuse.
