An account of the resource
Parchment?; f. 1; 10 lines of text and of 5-line staves for the music. Written in a squared gothic book hand. Music in Hufnagelschrift with a custos at the end of each set of staves. Initials in alternating red or blue occupying the height of one line of text and one set of staves. The initial on the recto that opens the hymn to Cyprian is blue with a small reserved white decoration. Rubrics in red.
Written in Germany during the 15th century; it bears remembering that the head of St. Anne was held in the Stiftskirche St. Stephan in Mainz until 1510, when it was stolen and taken to D en in north Rhine-Westphalia (the church that housed this relic was completely destroyed in Allied bombing in 1944). Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life. The collection of medieval fragments of music that had belonged to Louis Charles Elson was acquired in 1924 by the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library; initials BECPL stamped in lower margin of the recto. This leaf was n. 19 in the Elson collection; that information in the small ovel label on the uppermost corner of the recto: "No. 19, Elson Collection."
Title from De Ricci.

An account of the resource
Gradual, with, on the recto, sung parts of masses for Processus and Martinianus (2 July), the octave of Peter and Paul (6 July), the Seven Brothers (10 July), and on the other side of the leaf, parts of the masses for Apollinaris of Ravenna (23 July) and Felix II, pope (29 July).
Parchment; the lower part of a single leaf, constituting perhaps 1/2 of what would have been the full height of the leaf. Now with 5 lines of text, written in a formal gothic book hand. Each line of text is surmounted by a set of 4-line staves, of which one line is enhanced by a horizontal red line; this red line bears the letter "f" or "c" (?) on the far left at the beginning of the set of staves. Musical notation in Hufnagelschrift. The two introits are introduced by plain red initials of the height of 2 lines of both text and music; heavy red 1-line initials the height of one line of text and one of music; smaller 1-line red initials; initials the height of one line of text and copied in the same ink as the text, but highlighted by a red stroke along the length of a pen stroke; Elefantenr sel with some frequency and often adding a red vertical stroke to the initial; on the recto, one very elaborate letter S, the height of one line of text and of one set of staves in which the uppermost bar of the S is repeated upwards again and again in an ever-smaller set of curls with red dots and lines running through them and with a sketched profile of a monk (given his tonsure) attached to the left of the initial. Another similar profile attached to the left of an initial M on the verso. Along the left margin of the recto, a vertical dark stripe left on the parchment by the adhesive that held this fragment in place as a pastedown.
Written in Germany during the 14th century. Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life.

Description
An account of the resource
Gradual, presumably for the common of saints: for apostles, for a confessor bishop, for one martyr, for one martyred bishop. Specifically, the leaf contains: at the beginning, two communion chants the one immediately after the other and both for, inter alia, the common of apostles; an introit for the common of a confessor bishop (Sacerdotes tui domine induunt iusticiam); chants for the common of one martyr; an introit for a martyred bishop (Statuit ei testamentum pacis et principem fecit eum).
Parchment; f. 1 but significantly cropped the length of one side and across the top; now with 11 lines of text and their 4-line staves of music. Written in a formal gothic hand with variously long red horizontal lines connecting syllables of a single word when the music called for stretching out the sound; the musical notation in Hufnagelschrift. One plain red initial extending the height of one line of text and one set of staves (for the introit, Sacerdotes tui); smaller initials in alternating plain red or plain blue; lesser initials in the ink of the text with Elefantenr sel along the left side of ascenders, and with single red lines along the same left sides of ascenders.
Written in Germany during the 14th century. De Ricci states that the leaf was formerly used as a wrapper for deeds, presumably in reference to the long vertical fold towards one edge of the leaf that is pierced three times as if to hold binding thongs. Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life. The collection of medieval fragments of music that had belonged to Louis Charles Elson was acquired in 1924 by the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. An oval label in the uppermost left corner of the recto, "No. 7, Elson Collection."
Title from De Ricci.

An account of the resource
Gradual with sung parts of the mass from the end of the 8th through the beginning of the 10th Sunday after Pentecost; added between the lines at the beginning of the 9th and the 10th Sundays are the cues for the collect, epistle and gospel readings for those Sundays.
Parchment; f. 1; 10 lines of text with 3-line staves for musical notation in Hufnagel format. The ruled lines for the text and the music alternate lead, then ink (?), then lead, and so forth; the lines of the staves are marked at the beginning of each set of lines as C or F, or as G or C. Copied in an early gothic book hand that retains the use of ampersands for elegance; each letter copied independently of its neighbors; round r and round s where expected. Foliation in red roman numerals on the verso of the leaf, towards the middle of the page; here, cropped, "//vii." Major initials, equivalent to 2-line height of text lines (plus the necessary 6 lines of music) for the introits: on the recto, in red and green with leafy flourishes, and with a hand, with pointing finger, extending from behind the initial towards the text of the introit; on the verso, mainly in blue with the crossbar of the E in red; leafy flourished in red and blue; 1-line initials in red; rubrics, including references to folio numbers elsewhere in the book. Several short lines added at the end of one Sunday's service, and before the following Sunday with the spoken (not sung) incipits for the collect, and the epistle and gospel readings.
Written in Germany during the period between the late 12 and the early 13th century. In the upper left corner of the recto, later notes probably from the 16th and then the 17th (?) century showing that the leaf served as a wrapper for deeds. In the lower margin of the recto, in modern ink (?): No. 8. Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life. The collection of medieval fragments of music that had belonged to Louis Charles Elson was acquired in 1924 by the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. This leaf was n. 6 in the Elson collection.

An account of the resource
Antiphonal, with the end of the night office for the feast of St. Paul (29 June) signaled by the rubric on the recto, "In III nocturno," and on the verso with the beginning of Lauds with the rubric, "In Mat. Laud.," for which see R.-J. Hesbert, Corpus antiphonalium officii (Rome: Herder, 1963-1979) vol. 1, and as an example of this type of book, no. 102b for Bamberg. The book from which this leaf was taken was intended for secular (rather than monastic) use, as shown by the three antiphons for the third nocturn (here, preceded by the responsories for the second nocturn; and then followed by the responsories for the third nocturn, and at the end, Lauds).
Parchment; ; f. 1; 22 long lines of text with the musical notation in neumes in campo aperto copied above each text line. Written in a pregothic script (no fusing of contrary convex curves and no round letter "s"; but also no "ae" or "oe" diphthongs; one cedilla'd e noticed). Rubrics in a dark red ink, and adjacent major initials in a reinforced ink of the text itself. Copied in Germany, or more carefully stated, in Eastern Europe, during the 12th century, as is shown by the shapes of the neumes; use of this book was certainly in a secular church (see note, regarding the text).
Belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) who was a professor of music theory and history at the New England Conservatory of Music from age 34 onwards; he had begun studying music with his mother, then went on to study in Leipzig; he composed songs, operetta and works for the piano, but mainly he studied and wrote on the history of music; he published in a number of Boston newspapers, and was the editor-in-chief of Modern Music and Musicians (1912; 20 vols.) and of the University Musical Encyclopedia (1912-14; 10 vols.), among the ca. 50 items that he published over the course of his life. The collection of medieval fragments of music that had belonged to Louis Charles Elson was acquired in 1924 by the Grosvenor Library in Buffalo NY; this library, together with the Erie County Library and the Buffalo Public Library merged in 1953 to form today's Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. This leaf was n. 5 in the Elson collection (his name and the number, on an oval sticker attached to the upper recto). Stamp of the library (as BECPL) in lower margin of the recto

An account of the resource
From an antiphonal, one leaf, with the liturgy for the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin (8 September).
Parchment; f. 1; 23 long lines with the neumes for the music added above each text line; the text is copied in a pregothic minuscule; the music is in staffless neumes. On the recto, 3-line initial for the responsory, "Hodie nata est beata maria," in white vine stem on a particolored blue and yellow (?) ground.

Copied in Germany or Austria towards the end of the 11th century. Damage to the reverse of the leaf shows that it survived to modern day as a pastedown in a binding.
Numbered "xiii" in lower margin.
