Liturgical fragments in NL-TILtf

The Theologische Faculteit Tilburg has some liturgical fragments. This collection is now housed in the library of the Kath. Univ. Brabant in Tilburg.

Some fragments are in NL-TILtf Haaren 14 (see Van de Ven, pp. 25-28). In the front is half a leaf of a 12th-century antiphoner with staff notation (Low Countries style); the staff lines are dry (blind), except for the fa-line which is red, and the do-line that is a bit yellowish; the neume forms are quite similar to the 12th-century notations from Utrecht. This leaf bears the remark Liber monasterii S. Iacobi in Leodio. The fragment has responsories on both sides, but it is too small to draw a conclusion on monastic or secular use.
In the back of the ordinal on some loose leaves is a Liber Generationis, 13-14th century, notated in Hufnagelschrift; it seems to have a 2-part conclusion De qua natus est ihesus qui vocatur cristus Benedictus marie filius.
There is also a guidonian hand.
