Title A name given to the resource [Antiphonarium] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Catholic Church Description 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.

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).

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.

Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context RBR Print 235 Title A name given to the resource [Medieval manuscript leaves] Description An account of the resource Title assigned by cataloger. Parchment; f. 1; 9 lines of text and music; the text written in a formal gothic book hand in a space delineated with dry point (?) ruling at the top and at the bottom of the height of the minims; the music in square notation on 4-line red staves, with a custos at the end of each set of staves. On the verso, a historiated gray initial on a blue ground of the height of 2 lines of text with their staves of music, depicting Mary wrapped in her blue cloak, lying as if dead on her bed, with the apostles surrounding her, while in a cloudburst at the top of the initial, Christ, holding Mary as a small child, looks down upon her in her bed. On this verso, a color and gold bar, with gold balls, runs the length of the text; at the top it breaks in half and swirls off in both directions; at the height of the initial, it includes a grotesque with helmet, sword and shield; below the initial, it includes a grotesque with a human head on a bird?s body; in the lower margin, it includes a grotesque whose human upper part turns backward with ax overhead ready to fight his body?s tail which terminates in a dog?s head. A small squarish piece of parchment is now cut away, at what would have been the lowermost bit of decoration, with what were gold balls at its terminating points (the gold now completely worn away). Other decorated initials, the height of one line of text and ca. 3 lines of musical staves, in either red with blue penwork flourishing, or in blue with red flourishing; smaller initials in 1-line height following the same patterns of colors. In red: the rubrics and the superscript folio numbers for the parts of the mass cited (with red roman numerals from 205 through 231). Foliated in red roman numerals in the center upper margin of the verso: clxxxiiii (= 184); adjacent to his original folio number is a modern number in pencil, ?198.? Written in France during the 15th century; the use of the word ?officium? to designate the introit suggests that the book from which this leaf was taken had been copied for a church of Carthusian, Dominican or Carmelite rite. 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. 9 in the Elson collection. Present call number: RBR PRINT 235. Two leaves from the BECPL (one, a leaf taken from the psalter belonging to the Buffalo Public Library in 1936; and the second, the present leaf from a gradual from the Grosvenor Library MS 9, now RBR PRINT 235) were lent to Colgate University for an exhibition planned and run by Prof. Judith Oliver; the leaves were returned to the BECPL on 5 June 1987. Both leaves in black ink with illuminated capitals ; 1st leaf is a page with musical notation and lyrics ; 2nd leaf is apparently from a breviary. Both leaves were part of an exhibition at the Picker Art Gallery, Colgate University, Hamilton, New York, in 1987. Gradual with chants from the end of the feast of St. Lawrence (10 August), the rubrics for the feast of St. Hippolytus and companions (13 August), and the vigil and then the beginning of the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin (14 and then 15 August).
