Description

Leaf from a gradual, containing text and music [heightened neumes] of gradual, alleluia, and offertory for the First Sunday of Advent; also introit for the Second Sunday of Advent.

Single folio with 10 lines of text and music in a single column on each side; written in black ink (now faded to brown) with rubrication in red (now more orange). Above each line of text, heightened St. Gall-style neumes on a blind-ruled four-line staff, with lines labeled in thirds [e.g. CAFD or AFDB], and the F line always ruled in red and the C line in yellow.
