Augsburg: Erhard Ratdolt, 1494, vdm: 1081
multiple impression
Rotunda, Uncial
red initials, red staff lines, red text, multicoloured print
Printed notes and staves. Space is left in the staff for major initials, which are printed in red; initials for versicles etc are printed in black over the staves.
The title woodcut is printed in five colours. It is possible that the canon woodcut is also printed in colour (more copies need to be checked).
The colouring of the Agnus Dei woodcut (r4v) is the same in the A-KN and D-Mbs copies. While the red and black are evidently printed, the blue and green seem to be added by hand. However, the uniformity of the colouring suggests that it was done in-house.
Overlapping of notes and text (e.g. 121v, system 7) shows that the notes and the text were printed in separate impressions.
