RISM Description

RISM B/IV 4: 12./15. Jh.; 199 Blätter Pergament + 1 moderne Vorsatzblatt, 260 x 180 mm Moderne Bleistiftfoliierung von f. 1-199; ferner zwei ältere, nicht konsequente Foliierung - Einband: 19. Jh.; Karton mit Lederrücken.

Das aus dem Kloster S. Domenico in Bologna stammende Graduale (als Antiphonarium bezeichnet!) wurde im 12./13. Jh. in italienischen, der Quadratnotation nahestehenden Neumen auf rote F- und gelbe c-Linien notiert. Etwas jünger (vielleicht aber noch 13. Jh.) sind die beiden vermutlich zweistimmige Stücke in Partiturnotation (neumenartige Choralnotation) auf geritzten Fünfliniensystemen auf f. 199r. Wesentlich später (Ende 14./15. Jh.) wurde die nur fragmentarisch und offenbar rasch auf ein Fünfliniensystem in schwarzer Mensuralnotation hingeworfene Einzelstimme auf f. 199v geschrieben.

[Translation] 199 parchment leaves + 1 leaf modern forepaper, 260 x 180 mm of modern pencil foliation f. 1-199; also two older, not consistent Foliations - Binding: 19th Century; box with leather spine.

This manuscript came from the monastery of S. Domenico in Bologna. It is a Graduale (but described as an Antiphoner!) It was created in the 12th or 13th centuries in Italy, using square notation closely related to neumes. There are red F- and yellow c-noted lines. Probably slightly later (maybe even the 13th century) are the two pieces in score notation (neume chant notation) on scratched, five-line systems on f. 199r. Much later (perhaps the end of the 14th/early 15th century) is a fragmentary addition: a five-line system in black mensural with a single voice written on f. 199v.
