Processional Cistercian

Abstract

This processional consists of three sections, in the first it has the characteristic of Cistercian processionals for brothers of an abbey, however the other two mention sisters and abbess, thus suggest this book was copied for liturgy used in a convent. The details of music notation are also of interest as it includes modifications in the square notation, that black notation on four-line staves and white notation on five-line staves. Overall rubrics in red, initials in gold infilled on ground of green, red and blue, infilling often divided in two with two colours, and has floral borders on forty-five pages.
