Manuscript

Summary

The manuscript was most probably written by the same scribe as MS 18; however, there is no explicit or any other inscription concerning the date and place of its production. In view of the explicit of the MS 18, it is arguable that the manuscript came into being immediately after MS 18, which means during the last months of 1491 or at the beginning of 1492. The notation is of the same type as in MS 18. Secular cursus. 236 folios (8, 137 and 138 are missing). 55 x 39.3 cm; principal writing space 41.4 x 27.9 cm. 11 lines on each side.

The manuscripts include prosulas.

All chants not found in CAO have been assigned an arbitrary number prefixed by “kra.” The differentiae are assigned a letter-number combination (the letter indicates the final pitch of the differentiae, and the number is arbitrarily assigned). Invitatory tones are not presented in complete form in these manuscripts. Codes have been provided based on comparisons of the incipits with tones found complete in other sources.
