                <text>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).</text>

                <text>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).</text>

                <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</text>

The cues for the repetenda within the responsories are written in rustic capitals. Thanks to Prof. Susan Boynton (Columbia University, Dept. of Music) for her description of the musical notation.</text>

                <text>Written in France (?), towards the end of the 11th 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.  The collection of medieval fragments of music that had belonged to Louis Charles Elson was acquired in 1924 by the Grovesnor 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. 3 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.</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 (presumably because it is not dated to medieval or Renaissance times) was not described by De Ricci. Elson no. 26.</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.  Elson no. 24; This leaf (presumably because it is not dated to medieval or Renaissance times) was not described by De Ricci.</text>
