- Title:

A gradual or antiphonary for the use of Sarum, with the music, being a volume of the same size, and written on vellum in the fourteenth century. Some of its margins are handsomely painted in gold and colours, and others have grotesque subjects at top. The initials are richly executed; several with appropriate figures, but, as to design, coarse and inelegant. On some spare leaves at the beginning and end there are hymns, with "Kyrie eleison," &c. and the music, in a different and later hand. The beginning is wanting.
- Scope & Content:
-
ff. 1b, 151b, 152. Tenor, or contra-tenor, part of the following fragments of Masses, which were probably harmonized for 4 voices: — 1-7. ‘Sanctus’ and ‘Benedictus.’ Seven settings, f. 1b. 8-16. ‘Kyrie.’ Nine settings, including single ones for Feriæ ii-vi, two for Sunday, and two for days not specified, the latter of the two — the last on the page — being apparently by ‘Martyn.’ f. 151b. 17. Another ‘Kyrie,’ for Saturday. ‘Lyonel’ Power (?). f. 152. 18. Another, for Sunday. John ‘Dunstaple.’ f. 152. 19. ‘Sanctus’ and ‘Benedictus,’ in a rather later hand, at the end of which is written ‘q d h.’ f. 152.
f. 152. Alto part of a ‘Magnificat,’ beg. ‘Exultauit spiritus meus in deo salutari meo.’ A composition by [John] Dunstaple, i.e. Dunstable, immediately precedes it. Forms the fly-leaf at the end of a 15th-century Sarum Gradual.
ff. 1b, 152b. The tenor, or contra-tenor, parts of the following antiphons, etc., probably written for 4 voices: — 1. ‘[Asperges me,] Domine.’ f. 1b. 2-5. ‘Stella celi,’ ‘O gloriosa stella maris,’ ‘Salua nos, Jhesu,’ and ‘[Vidi aquam] egredientem de templo.’ f. 152b.
