multiple impression

Rotunda, Uncial

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

The music on i8v-p5v is printed in two columns. Each column measures 76 mm. Between the two columns there is a gap of 9 mm. Starting on v1r the music (for Prefaces and mass parts) is printed across an entire page. Theses pages are framed with double margins to the left and right, in which the clefs and custodes are printed.The Uncial initials are mainly in red. The red staff lines are very thin, and often poorly inked. It is unclear whether they were printed from pieces of type (with four lines each) or nested. Gutknecht uses a great variety of font sizes. Most of the text is printed in two columns. The calendar and the canon however are given in one column.

Hufnagel notation

Measurements:

full-length staff (v1r): 152 mm x 10 mm; height of virga: 7.3 mm

There is a very limited number of notational forms. Most of the notes are given with punctus. Virgae and other ligatures are only used for melismas.
