Description
An account of the resource
"These fifty manuscript leaves were selected to illustrate the art of the manuscript during the period of its greatest development and influence. They have been taken from books written in various European scriptoria by Benedictine, Franciscan, Carthusian, Dominican, and other orders of monks. Many are enriched with handsome borders, initial letters, and line-endings rendered in color, and twenty-give are illuminated with burnished gold or silver.

Description
An account of the resource
Office book or breviary, containing the office at matins for the feast of Sts. Philip and James (3 May). Parchment; f. 1; 15 long lines ruled in drypoint. Copied in a caroline minuscule script in two sizes; the larger script is used for lessons, and the smaller size is used for chant texts (responsories with their versicles). Somewhat later, staffless Germanic neumes (some in red ink that is now faded, but most in brown) were added in the interlinear space under the chant texts.Thanks to Prof. Susan Boynton (Columbia University, Dept. of Music) for her description of the musical notation.
Written in Germany, during the 10th century; it survived to modern times as the pastedown in a bound volume: the dark areas on the recto of the leaf (shaped as a backwards letter c) show where the glued was adhered. 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. 1 in the Elson collection.

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.

An account of the resource
Parchment; f. 1, cut down so that barely two lines of text and musical staves survive on each side. The text is produced by stencil, with the originally open spaces of lines around enclosed spaces filled in by hand (for example, to fully enclose the o; to close the upper partial circle of the e; to finish off the enclosing of the bottoms of the rounded spaces in the letters b and d; etc.). Square musical notation on red 4-line staves.
Produced in France during the 18th century. On the recto, in the lower right corner, an octangle label, edged in printed blue design, bearing the pen-written note: 1051. 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.
For the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul (29 June), the sequence that begins, "Quos unus in vita labor," as printed in, for example, the Missale cenomanense (Lyon: ex typographia Caroli Monnoyer, 1835) p. 527. The piece of text missing between the end of the scrap of the recto and the beginning of the scrap of the verso is: una quondam martyres/ In morte iunxit gloria,/ Vos una nunc colit dies./ Supernus inter vos Pater/Partitur. -- //<Q>uos unus in vita labor,/ Quos// <text cut away> //orbem: tu doc<es>/<o Petre,> Judaeos; fide/ T//<u, Paule, gentes imbuis>

An account of the resource
Paper; f. 1 but torn in half (?); 4 lines of text printed in Roman font, and 4 staves of 4 lines each, with square notation. Major initials (P and F) printed in red, as are the rubrics. In the lower margin of the verso, "Pars Aestiva" (so the text is not from the feast of the Epiphany?) and "eee." In upper left corner of the recto, the usual label, "No. 2 <?>, Elson Collection." In the lower margin of the same page, "BECPL."
European printed text and music, 19th century, although the actual location and date of the printing are not known. The very uncertain identity of this fragment may explain its presence in this collection that 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. 28.
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. No results found in Liber usualis, ed. by the Benedictines of Solesmes (Tournai: Society of St. John the Evangelist, Descľe, 1952); none in W. H. Iacobus Weale, Analecta liturgica, pars 1, Clavicula missalis romani (Insulis et Brugis: Typis Societatis s. Augustini, 1889); nor in the mass in time of war (introit, Reminiscere miserationum) in a printed Missale Romanum ex decreto sacrosancti Concilii Tridentini restitutum (Regensburg, 1861).

Description
An account of the resource
Leaf from an office book (that would later be termed breviary) containing chants and lessons for matins of the feast of the Trinity (celebrated on the Sunday after Pentecost); six lessons (readings) are present here; with musical notation. 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.
Parchment; one leaf; ruled in dry point on the flesh side for 28 lines of text. Written in a late caroline minuscule; music notated in staffless neumes. Rubrication for the chant genres.
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.

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.

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.

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."

Description
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. 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. 8 in the Elson collection; see the oval label attached to the uppermost left corner of the recto.

An account of the resource
Parchment; formal gothic book hand in two sizes of script; 2 columns of 30 lines, ruled in lead (?). 2-line initials within the text area (except for the letter I, which is placed outside of the text area, and is equivalent to ca. 5 lines in height), alternating gold with dark blue (or black) flourishing, or blue with red flourishing. Rubrics in red. Foliation in red roman numerals in the center upper margin of the recto: CCXXII; what may be modern foliation is in pencil in the lower outer corner of the recto, "130."
Written in France during the first half of the 15th century. This manuscript uses the word "officium" to designate the introit of the mass; such usage is common to books 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; initials BECPL stamped in lower margin of the recto. This leaf was n. 20 in the Elson collection; that information in the small ovel label on the uppermost corner of the recto: "No. 20, Elson Collection."
Numbered "CCxxii" in upper margin.
Title from De Ricci.

An account of the resource
Parchment, one bifolium containing the first and the last leaf of, presumably, the first quire of the book (although there may have been a quire with chapter headings that preceded this opening of the text); in the center of the lower margin of the present f. 2, the catchword to the next quire, enclosed in a box: "maius"; 2 columns of 63 lines, ruled in lead; written in a formal gothic book hand. 8-line painted initial in pale pink (?) now much abraded, set on a burnished gold ground with infilling of scrolling leaves in red and blue, and bar borders across the top and bottom margins, and along the inner margin, in all cases matching the reach of the text; on the curve of the lower bar are a fighting rabbit and greyhound, both with wings (or swirling capes); the space containing the gold is heavily outlined in black. 6-line initial opening the text in parted red and blue, decorated with narrow strips of space left in void, infilled with red flourishing, and set on a squared ground with flourishing in purple (?). 2-line initials alternating red with purple flourishing, and blue with red flourishing; paragraph marks alternating red and blue.
Berengarius Fredoli, Inventarium iuris canonici, containing the key points in the Decretum, the Liber Extra and the Liber Sextus. Berengarius (1250-1323), bishop of B̌ziers and appointed cardinal in 1305, wrote the introductory letter of this text to Guillelmus de Mandagot, bishop of Embrun (1295-1311), and dated his letter from Tiveretus (?) on the Sunday after the feast of the Assumption in the year 1300, i. e. on 21 August 1300. This text has not been printed; comparisons here are to another manuscript: Paris, Bibliotḧque nationale de France, lat. 15415. See Giovanna Murano, Opere diffuse per exemplar e pecia. Textes et Études du Moyen ℗ge, 29. (Turnhout: Brepols, 2005), "Berengarius Fredoli," n. 226, p. 306, listing five manuscripts of this text known to her as having been copied from rented pecia; Murano does not list the present bifolium which has not yet been examined for pecia marks
