Noted Missal, Fragment

Noted missal leaf used to bind together two sixteenth-century books printed in Basel (De varia temporum in iure civili observationes, ed. Simon Schard, Johannes Oporinus, 1561; Differentiarum in iure libro duo, ed. George Lauterberg, Johannes Oporinus, 1551). Fragment comes from the sanctorale section of the original manuscript, with late November feast days (Ss Chrysogonus and Katherine of Alexandria) and Common of Saints (beginning with the Common of an Apostle). Two chants are notated with adiastematic neumes.
