half of the 14th century. MS single leaf; vellum; 227 x 159 mm |

[recto] A complete leaf from a Breviary with musical notation (square notes on 4-line staves), with red and blue alternating initials and flourishing. Written in Gothic bookhand in double columns of about 38 lines and music. The leaf was folded widthwise and used as binding. Two library shelfmarks (X.2.10, D.12.7) are seen in the lower left-hand margin, which presumably corresponded to the upper outer corner of the back cover when the leaf was re-used as a book cover. Similar library shelf marks also appear on item 111 which was also used as binding, apparently in the same library. [ｮ verso]
