Siglum:
P-G N 133
Subcategory of book:
Antiphoner
Category:
monophony
Completeness:
fragment
Document type:
manuscript
Origin:
Unknown
Date:
15th - 16th cent.
Cursus:
unknown
Material:
parchment
Condition of document:
Under the shelf-mark 'N 133' are gathered a non-central bifolium originally from an Antiphoner (fols. A - B) and a shred of parchment coming from a much later manuscript, probably also an Antiphoner (fol. C). The bifolium was heavily mutilated to fit the size of the book it currently covers. Fol. A contains some chants for Mauritii (22/9) and Michaelis (29/9). The chants on fol. C remain unidentified.
Fragments N 133 and C 1372 (available at http://pemdatabase.eu/source/43025) in the Arquivo Municipal Alfredo Pimenta of Guimarães share the same codicological features (text and music palaeography, mise en page, decoration etc.) and it is possible to surmise that the two fragments originally belonged to the same book.
Page layout:
Full-page column (fols. A - B).
Type of notation:
Aquitanian
Type of notation:
Square
Description of the notation:
Fols. A - B: 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.
Fol. C: square notation on a red tetragram.
Inscriptions and marks:
Later-hand inscriptions on fol. Arv provide info on the shelf-mark and the contents of the book the fragment is currently covering. One further later-hand inscription is written reversed with respect to the text on fol. Av, 5th text line. Completed on:
