Printed fragments (English)

• Fragment from Graduale ad consuetudine[m] Sarum (Paris, 1508; STC 15862), comprising the lower half of sig. B.v, with music for the Feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross (3 May). Formerly the wrapper for f.6.1: Morienus Romanus, De transfiguratione metallorum (Hanoviae ad Moenum: Apud Guil. Antonium, 1593), from the library of Robert Burton: see Nicolas K. Kiessling, The Library of Robert Burton (Oxford, 1988), p. 205, item 1085; the fragment is now bound at the rear of the volume. The only recorded copy of the 1508 Graduale is at the Huntington Library, San Marino, Ca.; the Christ Church fragment is not listed in STC.
• Leaf from an unidentified Sarum missal (folio), dating probably from the first quarter of the 16th century. The leaf (sig. s.iii, = f. cxxxix) gives the prefaces for feasts of apostles and evangelists, and commemorations of the Holy Cross. Annotations in an early 16th-century hand on the verso of the leaf appear to have been made by a user of the missal before its dismemberment. Formerly a flyleaf in Allestree H.5.7: Revelationes Sancte Birgitte (Nuremberg, 1521); now lifted and bound as a flyleaf at the front of the volume.
