General Description

Gradual of Augustinian use. Ff 1-144 in one style, with later music starting in 145-155v with several settings of Kyries in different notational style. Written in England for an Augustinian abbey, belonged in the 14th c to a West of England Augustinian house, perhaps Haughmond Abbey, near Shrewsbury. Later polyphony was added on the bottom edge of 46v-48 and 172v-173.
