Chers amis et collègues,
ce fragment d'Antiphonaire se trouve actuellement à l'Archivio di Stato de Pavie (nr. 508/1). La série des antiennes des nocturnes du premier dimanche de Carême est un peu problématique : aucune trace sur CAO, ni sur cantus en ligne. Quelqu'un parmi vous a peut-être déjà rencontré cette tradition ? Merci pour tout renseignement (aussi pour la notation, que pour l'instant j'ai appelé "carré avec des éléments neumatiques").
Voici la transcription:
1 recto

What a wonderful surprise! Thank you very much.

Maybe there is even more than only lyrics. Look at these two antiphons from the León antiphoner:
Intruiged by your Venice paper I had a closer look at these antiphons. Although I did not find them in the León antiphoner, Michael Randel did find some of them in his 'An Index to the Chant of the Mozarabic Rite' (1973):

Thank you all. I keep searching...
Interesting indeed. Checking Hansjakob Becker's Das Tonale Guigos (1975), where a complete list of Carthusian antiphons can be found, the antiphons in this fragment (apart from the few CAO examples) cannot be found in this tradition either. So the quest continues...
Interesting! The series of antiphons is also non-existent in: PalMus VI (ambrosian chant), XXI (beneventan chant, but here Quadragesima is completely absent), also not in the Leon antiphoner (old hispanic). The notation reminds me a bit of PalMus IX (Lucca).
