<p>Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, 1933‑36‑1. Italy, 15th century. This manuscript is an antiphonary written in Italy in the fifteenth century. It includes chants for the major feasts of the liturgical year, from Advent through Corpus Christi. The chants are written in square notation on four-line staves. The chant texts are in rotunda script, written by multiple hands, with simple initials and rubrication in red. Additional chants have been added at the end by later hands (fols. 404v-410v). The early modern signature of Suor Maria Verginia (fol. 182v) suggests that the manuscript was at some point held by a women's religious community.
