NL-DHk 76 E 3

Psalterium per hebdomadam, Hymnarium, etc., early 16th century, Hufnagelschrift. Hufnagelschrift on ink staves. Property of the Catharinaklooster, Hoorn (tertiaries); in the back of the book a hymn to Katherina is added, suggesting that the manuscript was indeed in use there, though tertiaries were not supposed to perform Latin office services.

The manuscript resembles NL-Uc BMH 21 in some respects: it has the same type of decoration, and it uses two types of script for the rubrics: some are in textualis script and some in a more humanist-like script.

Contents
