General Description

Fragment of an early 15th century MS recycled as lower pastedown. What survives is the cantus and tenor (cantus firmus) of the Credo of a polyphonic mass. The upper pastedown has disappeared and can now only be seen as an offset. (Godfried Croenen, Medieval Manuscripts in Flemish Collections, April 2022)

Niels Berentsen adds: Preliminary results of a study on this fragment from the REIMAGE project, in collaboration with the Alamire Foundation (Alamire Digital Lab) were presented in MedRen 2026. A full study is forthcoming, and images (HR, UV and MSI) will be published in due course on IDEM.

We can now identify the following items in the fragment:

Front board (red from imprint and UV images) - Quant si loing suy de ma joyeuse joye [Ca, T, and Ct] Concordances: CH-Beb 421, F-Pn 6771, and E-MO 823 (Identification by Sara Maria Fantini). - [T]res nobles contes de (…)” [Ca, T, and Ct]. Composition so far unidentified.

Back flyleaf, side already on Fragmentarium (originally the verso) - Beginning of a Credo. A cantus survives from “patrem” to ”erit finis" and a (textless), the tenor from “patrem” to section ”et in unum”. Composition so far unidentified.

Back flyleaf, recently unglued (originally the recto) - A troped Kyrie, with parts written successively per section - Section "(…) amor nexus (…) eleyson" survives in two voices - Section "[A]postolos christi (…) eleyson" survives in three voices
