NL-Uc BMH 26

Antiphonarium, winter part, secular cursus, 15th century; once belonging to the Abdij van Berne. Hufnagelschrift on red staves. Chant dialect more or less West Frankish.

According to the notes of the museum the book is dated 1450-1500, and the penwork is from North Holland (which I do not understand; I would think the manuscript was written for a convent in Brabant or South Holland).
