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.</text>

              <text>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.</text>
