Antiphonal, ca. 1575.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/238577409

Manuscript, on German watermarked paper, of an antiphonal, probably from monastery at Benedictbeuren, Germany. Text is in an angular Gothic hand with square notation on four-line staves. Text lacks pages 5-6 and has a new text for Saint Benedict inserted between pages 182 and 183. The latter reflects changes in the liturgy. There are numerous notations in the margins indicating changes in practice. Some abbreviations are expanded in a later hand indicating difficulty in using the texts. On the back pastedown is an index of feasts.
