Page of text and music from a notated Missel, MC540
Non-Musical Manuscripts
Some late, Bari-type Benventan script, note the increased width of the letters and greater leading, from the Sacramentary MC339. The purple is from a bit of corruption in the image file, not original to the manuscript.
A page of text with a large illuminated letter "O" from the same Bari sacramentary, MC339
The opening of the Gospel of John ("In principio erat verbum et verbum erat...") from the same notated Missel, MC540
