NL-Uc BMH 21

Graduale, ca 1500-1520, Hufnagelschrift on ink staves. Script: textualis; part of the rubrics are in humanist script.

There are two foliations that do not match: there is a 16th century foliation in Roman numerals up to fol. CLVI, and a modern foliation in Arab numerals from fol. CLVI = fol. 159.

Fol. 55r: Hic sacerdos cum omni populo adoret crucifixum, fol. 55v: ... et tercia vice clerus ea prosequatur; Fol. 65r (Trishagyon): duo presbyteri and duo pueri; fol. 66r: et tercia vice chorus prosequatur

Containing sequentiae for Agnes (176r: Laus sit regi glorie and on fol. 226 a longer version with a different melody) and Cyriacus (227v: Gloriosi ciriaci martiris). These suggest a connection with the Agnesklooster in Hoorn.
The manuscript resembles NL-DHk 76 E 3 from the Catharinaklooster in Hoorn 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.

There are some two-part songs.

It has been property of the parish church of Enkhuizen.
