  • Thank you very much for your explanation.

  • Dear Oliver - my apologies: I was not very clear (being too casual). I just meant that I was enjoying the way that some notational shapes are reminiscent of those in Leon 8, and some are reminiscent of those in manuscripts like Aemil 30 and Aemil 56 - it just enriches my understanding of the notational styles in existence in medieval Iberia.

  • Honestly I am not an expert of Mozarabic chant, but if León and La Rioja points to Randel's classification, it was rather a classification of psalmody as far as I understood.

    The notator of this manuscript has certainly the vertical elegance which can be found in the Antiphonary of León, but I find this hand quite different. What I can not find in this antiphonary is the liquiscent form as we see it in the last line of Dominique's extract, which might look for some like a Bolognese porrectus. Among mozarabic hands it reminds me rather of certain uncial forms in the fragment of Zaragoza (ms. 418), although it is written there in another round shape.

  • It's such a fun mixture of Leon8-like notation and Rioja-style notation, isn't it? :-D

  • The notated part is the last one titled "Ordo ad media et noctis" (fol. 209-224'). But it is not easy to reproduce such a fine scripture.

    Thank you very much for communicating the link to this great manuscript.
