Sanctoral, including portions of the Offices of Matins, Lauds and 2nd Vespers of St.

[recto] A complete leaf written in Romanesque script of 2 sizes with rustic capitals, in brown ink. Rubrics and initials in red. 35 lines with or without music. Early German neumes in campo aperto, no heighting. Recovered from binding. The inclusion of a proper office for Maurice may point to an origin close to the Abbey of St. Maurice in Switzerland, where this type of neums was used.
