At the bottom are three bishop-saints: St Ingenuinus, St Cassianus and St Albuinus. On the verso, beneath the preface, the arms of the bishop of Brixen. Woodcut to calculate the date of Easter on 8r.

multiple impression

Rotunda, Antiqua (Roman), Uncial

red type on title page, red staff lines, red initials, red text

Antiqua is used only in the preface by the bishop. The music is found in quires r and s. In some instances it looks as if the red had been printed after the black. In the canon single notes are printed in red (t5v). When they touch the line, the staff lines are interrupted. Two columns, 38, 20 lines. Space is always left for the large red uncial initials, which start new pieces or important sections of chant. Red double margins bound the staves to the left and the right, and the clefs and custodes are printed within these.

Hufnagel notation

full-length staff: 165 x 17.0 mm; height of virga: 7.5 mm

The music type is elegantly cut and a full range of notational forms are used. The pater noster in the canon contains notes printed in red that are to be sung on high feasts and omitted on ferial celebrations (rubric at the bottom of t5r).
