multiple impression

Rotunda

red staff lines, red initials, red text

The full staves are made of six pieces, each 22 mm long, plus one piece 9 mm long. Staves in which an initial occurs also contain yet shorter pieces of staff, 3.5 mm long. There are some shorter staves of one column’s width. The descent of the notes into the region of the text underlay indicates that this book could have been printed in triple impression.
Two columns, 42, 47, 29, 23 lines. Types 9, 11, 12, 13 (Proctor).
