multiple impression

Textura, Uncial, Upper Rhine type, Rotunda

red initials, red staff lines, red text

The mandate by Christoph von Schachner and the index of feasts at the beginning are printed in a small Upper Rhine type. The body text is printed in texturas of various sizes. The canon seems to be printed with the same rotunda types as the Passau missal of 1494, printed by Ratdolt; it may be that this section was outsourced.

Hufnagel notation

full-length staff: 178–179 x 15.5 mm. The individual strips from which the staff lines are printed are fairly uniform in length, but are poorly justified; the ends of the staves thus look rather ragged.
Virga: 8.5 mm

The punctus and virgae sometimes have a little hook; the custos looks like a punctus with a particularly large hook.

chant
