[Processionarius ordinis]

Abstract

"Latin music manuscript for a monastery of the Hieronymites on vellum, complete. Written in Spain probably in or for Guadalupe (a municipality located in Las Villuercas comarca, province of Cáceres, Extremadura) in the first quarter of the 16th century.With four music systems (first page three) on each page with square notes on five red staves (each 16 mm). Numerous initials in red and blue and decorated letters in black. Few later corrections and additions. This Processional contains hyms and liturgy prescribed for processions on feast days. On fol. 92 ff. are hyms in honour of St. Jerome. This indicates, that it was written for the Order of St. Jerome, and- as an ownership entry suggests- for their monastery in Guadalupe." -- Bookseller's description.
