Description
Epistolaries
are
among
the
rarest
of
liturgical
manuscripts
. Their
text
consists
of the
Epistles
and
Gospels
with
lessons
from the
Old
Testament
for
particular
occasions
.
Sometimes
, as in this
leaf
, they had
interlinear
neumes
in
red
to
assist
the
deacon
or
sub-deacon
in
chanting
parts
of this
section
of the
church
service
while
he was
standing
on the
second
step
in
front
of the
altar
. The
text
is
written
in
well
executed
rotunda
gothic
script
with
bold
Lombardic
initials
.
Some
of the
filigree
decoration
which
surrounds
the
initial
letters
has
faded
because
it
was
executed
in
some
of the
fugitive
colors
which
were then
prepared
from the
juices
of
such
flowers
and
plants
as
tumeric
,
saffron
,
lilies
, and
prugnameroli
(buckthorn
berries)
.
