Script: original text and additions copied in extremely large Southern (Spanish) Gothica Textualis Formata (Textus Praescissus), with music notation in nota quadrata.
Richly decorated with red rubrics and painted initials.
Binding: s. XVI: undecorated brown leather over heavy wooden boards, sewn on four double cords. On both covers four large engraved brass corner pieces and more centrally five smaller engraved brass bosses. The leather damaged and several metal pieces lost. On the front cover upside down large number "26" in white paint. On the rear cover four engraved brass catches for clasps (one both at the top and at the bottom edge, and two at the outer edge), and eight nails towards the top probably for fixing a fenestra with title label (now lost). Leather tabs partly with Spanish inscriptions pasted on the outer edges of the leaves.
In Latin.
Record created by Beinecke staff from catalog description by Albert Derolez.
Provenance
The manuscript is closely related to a series of illuminated leaves (Beinecke MS 794 is one of them), all from chantbooks of giant size, made in the early sixteenth century for the Confraternity of the Rosary in the Dominican convent of St. Peter Martyr in Toledo. The convent was abolished in 1836 and its manuscripts were transferred to the Dominican convent of St. Dominic in Ocaña near Toledo. They disappeared during the Spanish Civil War. Purchased from Laurence Witten in 1989.
