RISM Description

RISM B/IV 2: A 14th century parchment manuscript meas. 188 x 130 mm. and containing 150 folios bound in 15th century leather over wooden boards. The corpus consists of a Gradual and sequentiary (f. 15-148) notated in Gothic neumes on 10 four-line staves per page. The somewhat later but still 14th century Kyriale on f. 5-14v employs 8-11 five-line staves per page. The initials are alternately black and red. The only foliation is a 19th century pencil one at t.r.r. The only polyphonic work is the two-part "Kyrie Tro rex omnium virginum" in Gothic neumes on two black four-line staves in score (f. 149). This work is a forerunner of the pieces in the 15th century codices München, Staatsbibliothek, lat. 23286, f. 5v and Graz, Universitatsbibliothek, IV 9, f. 168 (= IV 10, f. 1), and partially resembles them.
