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.

Thank you very much for your explanation.

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.
Merci à vous deux !
Ce manuscrit est vraiment magnifique !!!!!
Les neumes sont aussi de toute beauté !
