This antiphonary from the 2nd half of the 14th century includes the
texts from Pentecost to the end of the liturgical year, as well as
the corresponding saints’ days and texts for the Commune
sanctorum. The origin is unknown, but based on the inclusion of
certain saints’ days, the manuscript originated in the Cologne
area. Written in a uniform script, with neumes on four lines
throughout and a few later additions with neumes on five lines;
signs of usage and later notes. Five larger and five smaller
initials are covered in gold leaf, and in addition there are 36
plainer initials; all initial letters are set off in red or blue,
the rubrics are in red. A father from Marienstein, who worked at
the Kollegium of Altdorf, received the manuscript second-hand. From
there the manuscript came to Mariastein in 1981. Not published.
