P-SAscm (Santarém) Santa Casa da Misericórdia Frag. 003
P-SAscm Frag. 003
Simple decoration. Plain initials alternatively in blue and red. The only remarkable initials are two decorated "B" and "D" which signal the first responsory of Matins of Pentecost Sunday and Trinity Sunday. A display script in red gives the name of the liturgical occasions. Text and notation in black. Neumes around a red line. The notation is characterised by an uneasy distinction between lozenged and square neumes; sometimes the former clearly indicate the location of the semitone; other instances are ambiguous.
Bifolium fully notated in good condition, good readability.
The margins are irregularly trimmed but there is no loss of contents.
Horizontal folders indicate that the bifolium has been folded for a long time. Many sewing holes.
Spot of humidity on Av right side.
