Gradual, Switzerland, Late 14th Century
No full textThis gradual leaf shows a peculiar form of musical notation called Hufnagelschrift , or horse shoe nail writing because of its resemblance to the nails used to shoe horses at the time. Graduals collect chants or antiphons used in the celebration of Mass into one book--usually these were quite large so that many monks in the choir could sing from one book. Script is Angular Gothic. Text is unknown.https://digitalcommons.cwu.edu/illuminated_manuscripts/1010/thumbnail.jp
Breviary, France, Middle 14th Century
No full textBreviaries combined all the sung and spoken portions of the Divine Office into one volume. This leaf bears three markers of French origin: first, the dorsal motif in the bar ornament; second, the Angular Gothic script hand; and third, the lemon tone of the gold illumination. The overall effect is a bright, joyous page full of movement. Text shown is a reading for a Sunday within the Octave of Epiphany.https://digitalcommons.cwu.edu/illuminated_manuscripts/1006/thumbnail.jp
