Siglum:
P-G C 1429
Subcategory of book:
Noted Breviary
Category:
monophony
Completeness:
fragment
Document type:
manuscript
Origin:
Unknown
Date:
15th - 16th cent.
Cursus:
unknown
Contents:
The fragment contains some readings on the recto which continue on the verso. Here, at the bottom of the right column we can read the beginning and some excerpts from a responsory whose mutilated text has not been identified. Apparently, none of the responsories currently included in the Cantus Index catalogue contain the text one can read on P-G C 1429.
Material:
parchment
Condition of document:
Single-leaf fragment folded horizontally in the middle and used as book cover. The recto is the external cover and it is in poorer condition. This folio has been trimmed along the right edge (recto) to fit the size of the book it covers. The trimming caused loss of contents. On the verso there is a later-hand inscription written with a ballpoint pen providing information on the current and former shelf-marks of the fragment. On the recto there is a library sticker ('N. 21 de 16-10-1595 ate' 18-10-1616') and a later-hand inscription which is earlier than the inscription we found on the verso. This inscription reads 'Livro de vedorias anno 1595 athe anno de 1616' and it points to the contents of the book.
Page layout:
Two columns.
Type of notation:
Aquitanian
Description of the notation:
Large size neumes. The difference between a lozenge and a more or less square punctum is always clearly defined. The lozenge is randomly used at different heights always as part of compound neumes in a descending melodic movement. The lozenge is not used in isolation.
