muspeccoll:It’s a musical #ManuscriptMonday today. This close-up of a leaf from our Fragmenta Manuscripta collection contains an early form of musical notation called neumes. You can see that the staff was ruled in blind instead of being drawn in ink. This leaf is from an antiphonal created in the late 12th century and contains material for services at Ascension and the vigil of Pentecost.⠀⠀Columbia, University of Missouri, Ellis Library, Special Collections, Fragmenta Manuscripta 064⠀⠀#manuscript #manuscripts #medievalmanuscripts #music #musicalnotation #musichistory #medieval #middleages #rarebooks #specialcollections #libraries #librariesofinstagram #iglibraries #universityofmissouri #ellislibrary #columbiamo (at Ellis Library) -- source link
