Description
This
leaf
from the
Book
of
Psalms
was
written
in the
Benedictine
monastery
of
St
.
Stephan
in
Würzburg
and
dated
1499
A.D
. The
book
hand
closely
resembles
the
fine
early
gothic
types
called
lettre
de
forme
and
used
by
Fust
and
Schoeffer
in their
superb
Psalter
issued
in
1457
.
It
is
known
that these
printers
also
used
this
type
to
print
the
Canon
of the
mass
which
was
frequently
sold
as a
replacement
for the
soiled
and
worn
out
manuscript
pages
of that
text
. A
close
examination
indicates
that the
scribe
apparently
tried
to
imitate
printing
type
characters
in
many
instances
. In
just
the
same
way
, the
first
printers
had
copied
in their
designs
the
current
local
book
hand
. The
line
of
music
giving
the "
free
"
melody
of the
psalm
here
retains
the
early
XIIth
century
staff
, with the
C-line
colored
yellow
and the
F-line
red
. These
note
forms
are
frequently
called
Hufnagelschrift
or
horse-shoe
nail
notation
because
of their
resemblanceto
hobnails
.
