General Description

A Gradual written in cultivated 14th century Gothic script ('gepflegten gotischen Textur des 14. Jahrhunderts'). Folio 123v preserves a 'Sanctus motet'. Mensuration signs missing, but from the simple rhythm it can easily be deduced that the music should be in tempus perfectum cum prolatione maiori.
