General Description

Antiphonal (etc) of the use of Limoges, from the Abbey of St Martial and containing chants etc for St Martial, collected from several earlier manuscripts. One piece on f. 202-205 appears to be in 2vv, although earlier commentators have viewed this as two related but separate settings.
