DescriptionThree half-leaves (two from same folio - folio 1 retains the upper half only, and is apparently consecutive with folio 2) from a Missal.
Feria 3 (station of St. Cyriacus) and feria 4 (station of St. Marcellus) of Passion week:
f. 1 (upper half only): …peccatorum et tuae propiatio maiestatis…/…autem die magno festivitatis sta….
f. 2 (two separate halves): …meus et non dereliquisti diligentes te.../…nec coram ceco pones offendi (includes John 7:1-13 and Lev. 9:10-14).
2 columns of originally 30 text lines in Latin. Boundings lines in blind, writings lines in blind.
Written in a Rotunda script in black ink with red rubrics. 2-line initials throughout, alternating red and blue.
Written in Italy in the mid-twelfth century. Used as covers and a flyleaf in the 17th century, probably for music sheets ("Basso" and "Tenor" written on one fragment).
