Vienna

Liturgical book

The colophon states that Winterburg produced this edition at his own expense, i.e. he was the publisher; it was apparently thus not produced as a commission. According to Dolch (1913), 21, this is the first publication in which Winterburger combined antiphoner letters (29 mm high) in their natural connexion with notes. Weale-Bohatta 768 and 769 differ only in that the latter does not contain gathering P, with the missae speciales. Weale-Bohatta 770 has an alternative ending: CXLVIr: Canon, CLv: Agnus Dei, and no gathering P.

2r-7v: Calendar
