Written in a squared gothic book hand. Music in Hufnagelschrift with a custos at the end of each set of staves. Initials in alternating red or blue occupying the height of one line of text and one set of staves. The initial on the recto that opens the hymn to Cyprian is blue with a small reserved white decoration. Rubrics in red. Written in Germany during the 15th century; it bears remembering that the head of St. Anne was held in the Stiftskirche St. Stephan in Mainz until 1510, when it was stolen and taken to D en in north Rhine-Westphalia (the church that housed this relic was completely destroyed in Allied bombing in 1944). 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.

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.

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 Leaves conjugate but not consecutive; 1st leaf (5 lines) with musical notation; 2nd leaf (15 lines) with text only. 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."

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; ff. 2, not consecutive nor attached to one another; with a very deep lower border (as if in anticipation of an eventual need to add notes to the page?); 9 lines of text, each preceded by its row of staves; pricking along both the outer and the inner margins that ties in groups of 5 holes to the 1 text line plus 4 stave lines. 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. L'abbreviazione per vibrante preconsonantica e prevocalica nella gotica italiana dei secoli xiii e xiv," Scriptorium 61 n. 2 (2007) 430-437 and images on pl. 52; at the end of the article, Bocchi places use of these marks in central Italy, and he dates them to the time span of the 13th century and into the early years of the 15th. Music in square notation on 4-line red staves with a custos at the end of the set of staves. Initials of somewhat more than 1-line height (they extend into the staves' second line from the bottom) in plain alternating red with simplistic blue flourishing, and blue with red flourishing; the letter following the decorated initial and occasional other initials throughout the text are touched in red. Rubrics in red that are copied above (not before) the beginning of the relevant piece of text. Early modern pagination in ink in the uppermost outer corner of each side of the leaf. Written in Italy during the early years of the 15th century. On p. 202, in the center lower margin, the pencilled note: "Mr. Charles D[avenport ?] Champlin, 3-2-36 D" presumably representing the person from whom these two leaves were acquired, and the date of acquisition, March 2, 1936; the initial "D" may represent the librarian. In-house library files cite the name of Louis Charles Elson (1848-1920) but probably incorrectly. Title and date from De Ricci. Bibliography: De Ricci. Census, p. 1212, no. 28 Antiphonal, with responsories 2 through 6, and their accompanying versicles, for Quinquagesima Sunday. -- Antiphonal, with responsories 1 through 5, and their accompanying versicles, for Passion Sunday.

Bound in two volumes, the first of 38 leaves, the second of 34 leaves (foliated as ff. 39-72); binding is modern red morocco; each volume with the same statement of provenance lettered on the front cover: at the top: "Manuscript Missel [sic] on Vellum of the XV Century" and at the bottom: "Presented by James Fraser Gluck to the Buffalo Library A.D. 1886." Written in France during the second half of the 15th century; the calendar includes the feast of the Dominican, Vincent Ferrer who was canonized in 1455. In addition, the dark colors in the backgrounds of the painted initials is typical of work done at the end of the century. A slip from an auction catalogue is glued to the front pastedown of the first volume: it presumably was retained here because it represents this present manuscript, although the book of hours described on the slip is said to have 164 leaves (as opposed to the present ff. 72), with "14 beautifully painted miniatures" (there are 9 in the book as it now stands); in addition, this slip labels the manuscript it describes as n. 959 in its catalogue, suggesting a very large sale; the slip is assumed to come from an auction catalogue (rather than a sales catalogue) because there is no price associated with it (and the very top of the following entry is just barely visible at the bottom of the slip). The manuscript as it now stands, of 72 leaves, belonged to James Fraser Gluck (1852-1897); he had the book bound in its present red morocco, had the inscriptions placed on the front covers, and donated the now-two volumes (along with a large collection of materials relating to British and American authors) to the Buffalo Public Library in 1886, which is a very early date for interest in medieval manuscripts in the United States. Calendar in red and black--V. 1, leaves [1-12]. Identified in De Ricci as Horae, Roman use, written in France. References: De Ricci. Census, p.

Following the remaining part of lauds are, on ff. 25-27v, suffrages of the Holy Spirit, John the Baptist, Nicholas, Martin of Tours, Anthony of Padua, Maurus, and Lupus (here spelled "Luppus," in whose suffrage the text breaks); on ff. 28-29 (f. 29v, blank) is the end of a suffrage of Catherine of Alexandria, here remaining are 27 verses in French in 6-line stanzas ([aa]baab ccdccd eefeef gghggh etc.) plus an irregular final stanza. 4) ff. 30-35vShort hours of the Cross, opening miniature cut out, but containing the rest of the text, through compline -- 5) f. 35v, f. 36r-v, ff. 43-46v, Short hours of the Holy Spirit, opening miniature cut out after f. 35r-v (rubric is on f. 35v, Les heures du saint esperit). -- 6) f. 46v, Rubric in French at the bottom of the page to signal the beginning of the Office of the Dead, which would have followed the Short hours of the Holy Spirit, but which is no longer in this book: Les vespres des mors.Parchment; ff. 52, much misbound and with all illumination removed, as well as easily half of the text leaves, including all of the calendar, the second half of the Hours of the Virgin, the Penitential Psalms, and the Office of the Dead. 175 x 125 mm. Written in a formal gothic book hand in 2 sizes (the smaller is for versicles and responses), on 15 pale red lines to the page. No catchwords or signatures remain. Illuminated initials and floriated borders. Latin text. Written in France, probably in Rouen, given the liturgical use of the Hours of the Virgin (at Prime; Nones no longer remains in the manuscript), during the middle of the 15th century. Probably during the 18th to 19th century, the book belonged to the family residing in Milton Hall, near Peterborough, given the book label on the front pastedown (but this attribution is made with some caution, since the shell of the binding might have belonged to another book). Now surviving only on f. 1, a 4-line white-decorated blue initial with both colors on acanthus leaves in the initial, set on a square gold ground with a bar border on the left extending the length of the text space formed of a gold strip and a colored strip (divided, in part blue and in part pink), and with a C-shaped border of flowers (blue 4- and 5-leaf flowers, strawberries and round red berries) and acanthus leaves in blue and gold around the text on three sides. 2-line initials in white-decorated color (alternating blue or pink) with both colors in the acanthus leaves within the initial, set on a squared gold ground, with a spray of mainly gold trilobe leaves with one colored flower at the top and one at the bottom of the spray, and extending into the margin. 1-line gold initials on blue and pink white-decorated grounds; line fillers in the same colors. Initials of the verses in French for St. Catherine, f. 28r-v, touched in yellow. Rubrics in red. Offset of blue paint from decoration on what was the facing page with a full border, now visible on ff. 5v (before the Hours of the Virgin), 15v (before lauds), 30 (before the Short Hours of the Cross), 35v (before the Short Hours of the Holy Spirit), 42 (before the Obsecro te), 47v (before the now-missing Office of the Dead), 52v (before the now-missing terce of the Hours of the Virgin). On f. 22, lower margin, note, s. XVII (?), "En faint mon fils s<?> ne voullez po<?> maine." Foliated, September 2023.Bound, possibly in former days, in limp vellum over boards, to the extent that there is with today's completely unbound book an outer shell of a limp vellum binding, but it is uncertain if this was ever attached to the present book, in that, sitting on the book's "front" and ''back" areas, there is a dark vellum "leaf" that might have been part of this book's binding. The stitching of the book's gatherings is solid, holding the book in its present jumbled state, and placing the book's one leaf with its highest present level of decoration in first position (the opening of the O Intemerata prayer, with a 4-line initial and C-shaped page decoration).

Alphabetical index of the 70 hymns in this book, with notes in the appropriate place that there are no hymns beginning with the letters F, K and R; the saints mentioned by name in the index are Barbara (f. 52), Joseph (f. 22), Michael archangel (f. 49), Paul (f. 81). Stephen (f.75) Paper (no watermark found); ff. iii + 85 + ii; 115 x 113 mm in an almost square shape; on the leaves with text alone: 17 long lines with a 'catchword' to the next page at the bottom of every page; when music is present, 6 lines of text and music per page with the music on 4-line staves. Written in a script imitative of Roman font, e.g. "ae" diphthong present; straight letter d; tall s at the beginning of and internal to words (but with a round s at the end or words); very few abbreviations. Music in Hufnagelschrift on 4-line staves. Rubrics and initials (the height of one line of text and its accompanying music) in red. Written in Germany, almost certainly in Bonn at Engelthal, for if not at the house of the Augustinian nuns who were there from at least 1324 (existing documentation); in 1460, they joined the Windesheim Reformation; the house was secularized in 1802. This ownership information derives directly from the modern note in pencil on f. 82: "Aus dem Kloster Engelthal im Bonn." The book was copied in or after 1729, since it includes on f. 40v a prayer to St. John Nepomucene (c. 1345 - 20 March 1393), who was canonized on 19 March 1729. The saints who are repeatedly cited in this book are the three members of the Theban Legion: Cassius and Florentius , who were martyred at Bonn on the Rhine; they were declared Principal Patrons of Bonn in 1643; the third and other members of this group are Mallusius and their Companions; the feast of these saints is on 10 October, with translation of their relics on 2 May (it occurred in 1166). Designations of the persons performing the various services are for men, not women: f. 32, "Decanus et duo seniores"; f. 33, "Duo Vicarii Refectoriales"; f. 38, "presbyter iunior"; f. 54, "Diaconi"; f. 63, "duo Chorales" (this last direction could technically have been for women). Another note in pencil, also in German and quite possibly by the same person who identified the book as coming from Engelthal, at the bottom of the same leaf, f. 82: "Hern Andr. Velten geschenkt." Andreas Velten (1794-1870) was a carpenter and music collector in Bonn; see Kalliope-Verbund under Velten's name for a list of some 100 pieces relating to music; see also his book, authored by "a citizen of Bonn," (standing for Andreas Velten), Beitr̃ge zur Geschichte der s̃mmtlichen fr eren und jetzigen Kirchen und Kl̲ster der Stadt Bonn und ñchsten Umgebung (Bonn: Carthaus, 1861) pp. 100-103 for a history of the convent of Engelthal (this manuscript not mentioned). * On f. i recto (facing the front pastedown): bookplate of the Grosvenor Library; the handwritten modern call number, "B. C. 2. 1. 17"; and the oval book number inscribed "No. 34, Elson collection." 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.). 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. 34 in the Elson collection. Present call number: RBR MUSIC 1600.C3. * We are grateful to Dr. Christine Glassner of the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften who read the inscription at the bottom of the page and who then identified Andreas Velten as well as the book that he authored and the musical texts that he wrote and owned.

Title A name given to the resource World War I Posters Collection Description An account of the resource Posters were a very effective means of messaging throughout World War I. They were pasted onto walls and billboards everywhere to reach the widest possible audience. This form of propaganda, or “selling the war,” was used by both the Allies and the Central Powers to spark patriotism, raise funds and resources and foster hatred of the enemy. The posters were the work of the illustrators of the day – styles and techniques are as diverse as the artists and their countries. Although the United States came late to the war, it produced more WWI propaganda posters than any other country. <em>Original poster collection donated to the Grosvenor Library by Edward Michael.</em> Still Image A static visual representation.
