Description
Good condition, though some of the ink has faded. Particularly the blues and the purples.; There are several decorated initials. The flourishes on the "P" on the verso is reminiscent of a musical staff. This is interesting considering that the music was not added until later, though, the Psalms are generally associated with music.; Rotunda Book Hand; Musical notation with a simple melody was added later. The handwriting is of a significantly lower quality that the other handwriting.; Ege tells us that this was made for a Carthusian monastery. The Carthusians were a small and particularly devout order. They were hermits, and take an oath of silence. Manuscripts from this order are rare. Also of interest in this manuscript is that there are two guide lines instead of one.; Black, red, blue, and purple inks
