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 Parchment; f. 1, cut down at both top and bottom; now with 16 long lines in an early gothic script (double pp is fused; round s at the ends of words, but round r occurs only once) with staffless Germanic neumes inscribed between the lines of text. 6-line letter H to open the responsory on the recto: particolored yellow and parchment, with zigzag line in red to separate the areas; infilling of non-painted leaves, outlined in red, against a light blue ground. 1-line initials within the text touched in red. Rubrics in red. Written in Germany, or perhaps in the Netherlands, during the 13th century. It survived to modern times as the cover of a small book, with clearly visible wear and dirt along what was the spine (with the recto of the leaf facing outwards). 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, as described by De Ricci, was no. 2 in the Elson collection. J. V. Mierlo, Jr., S.

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).

The opening initial corresponding to the height of 2 lines of text and their corresponding 2 sets of staves in an initial formed of scrolling green leaves, set on a punched gold ground, and enclosed withing a frame of pieces of "wood" in alternating red and blue sections; growing out of the initial, and running the length of the page in its far left border is an extended scroll of multicolored acanthus leaves and gold dots, the entire spray of leaves is roughly trimmed on the left by the knife of the person who removed this leaf from its binding. In the lower margin, an equivalent spray of acanthus leaves, flowers and gold dots, enclosed within a narrow silver frame. On the verso, a calligraphic initial (equivalent to 1 line of text and its music) in the ink of the text. In upper right area of the recto of the leaf, the foliation in red roman numerals, "ccxi."

Parchment; one bifolium, i.e. ff. 2, non-consecutive, with the leaves pasted together at the gutter; On f. 1: 5 lines of text and music, the text written in a formal gothic script, the music in square notation on red 4-line staves with a custos at the end of each set of lines; added tones for the antiphons are noted in the margins: 3rd tone on the recto; 5th tone on the verso. Rubrics in red. In the uppermost right corner of the recto, the folio number: 12. On f. 2: 15 lines of text; formal gothic script. In the uppermost right corner of the recto, the folio number: 19. The folio numbers on these two leaves and the basic knowledge that in books of Italian origin and at this date the standard quire size is of ten leaves point to this set of leaves as being the second bifolium in the second quire. On both leaves: 1-line initials (i.e. the height of slightly over one line of text) either in red with purple flourishing, or in blue with dark red flourishing; the painted blue initial on the first recto was originally written as a letter N that was then partially erased to give a majuscule letter I; 4 initials in black ink, with Elefantenr sel. Written in Italy, probably towards the end of the 15th century; this late date is suggested by the presence of a comma (!) in the text on f. 1 recto. According to De Ricci, the library acquired these leaves from Henkels, in December 1931, and there is a note in pencil in the lower margin of f. 1 reporting this fact: "Henkels 12-8-31 [signed:] E."

Formal gothic minuscule that includes both the curled line ("ricciolo") and the small waved line ("ondina") abbreviation marks for, respectively, the preconsonantal "r" and the prevocalic "r"; see Andrea Bocchi, "Riccioli e ondine.

The chant for communion on the recto (Ponam visitationem) is identified on the Cantus Database and on the Musica Hispanica database as being from the Hispanic rite, for Epiphany, with the Cantus ID: h03550b ; this piece of text is from London, British Library, Add. 30844, f. 127 (Spain, second half of the 10th century, or 11th century). However, none of the other texts on this fragment are listed in either database, nor did movement forward or backward in the manuscript identify any other pieces of text or chant, nor did an online examination of the description of this British Library manuscript.

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

Title A name given to the resource [Gradual] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Catholic Church Description An account of the resource Miniature of the Annunciation; decorative border. Parchment; f. 1; 9 lines of text and music, the text written in a formal and very spiky Germanic gothic book hand, and the music in square notation on 4-line staves, with a custos at the end of each line of staves; the vertical rules on either side of the written space are doubled. A square miniature opens the feast of the Annunciation, the height of almost 2 lines of text and music: enclosed in a wooden frame, in a large and deep Renaissance-style bedroom, with a long hall reaching straight back to a garden, the archangel Gabriel approaches in flight from the upper left, with the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove above the Virgin's head, as she turns backwards from her prayers to see the angel; a large vase with lilies sits in the center of the floor. For another pattern of the same miniature, see, for example, Glasgow, University Library, Hunter MS 25 (S. 2.15), the one full-page miniature in the book (there are nine smaller miniatures), in a breviary with pictures attributed to the Master of the First Prayer Book of Maximilian. This manuscript is discussed in Thomas Kren and Scot McKendrick, Illuminating the Renaissance: the Triumph of Flemish Manuscript Painting in Europe (Los Angeles: Getty Museum, 2003), in a section by Thomas Kren on pp. 317-318, n. 89, with a reproduction of the Hunterian manuscript's miniature of the Annunciation. In the BECPL manuscript, on the recto, a 2-sided border of interconnecting triangles in red, dark blue, green and yellow, each one decorated with faint drawings; the blue triangle directly below the archangel Gabriel contains a coat of arms: quarterly, 1 and 4, [two or three objects?], 2 and 3, argent [?], two bars [azure?]. The R that opens the chants for the Annunciation is rendered as if a 3-dimensional wooden letter, with shadows, sitting on a gray ground; other initials: two are the height of one line of text and one set of staves, in red; another initial, of the same size, is in black Elefantenr sel with flourishes of curled acanthus leaves, touched in green. Rubrics in red. Foliation in black ink in the center of the outer margin of the recto, and with the same number in early modern foliation in the upper right corner of the leaf: "xciiii" (= 94). Written probably in Austria during the turn from the 15th to the 16th century; the assigning of this leaf to Italy in De Ricci's Census proves that De Ricci himself had not seen this leaf. According to the BECPL inhouse website, the leaf belonged to Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920), although there is no comment to that effect in De Ricci, and there is no oval or round sticker with Elson's name on the leaf (as there is on the leaves in this library's collection that certainly belonged to Elson). We are very grateful to Peter Kidd, who proposed the similar pattern of the Annunciation in the manuscript held in Glasgow, and to his citation of relevant bibliography Title and date from De Ricci. "Formerly used as a wrapper for deeds."--De Ricci Bibliography: De Ricci. Census, p. 1212, no. 26 Gradual, with the end of the gradual chant and then the communion chant for the feast of St. Benedict (21 March), followed by the introit for the feast of the Annunciation (25 March), with its versicle and the beginning of its gradual; references to other parts of what was once the book that contained this leaf are, on the recto between the rubric and the beginning of the text, "Vultum tuum, fo. 1" and on the verso before the present gradual chant, "Graduale, Diffusa est, [fo.] lii."

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.

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).
