No liturgical manuscripts from the Low Countries.
There are a some manuscript fragments.
There are two fragments, belonging together and forming a more
or less complete folium of an antiphoner for monastic use, dating from the
12th century and containing chants for Exaltatio Crucis, a
Salve regina, and Mathew (or Commons for an evangelist?) in
Low Countries staff notation on dry lines (the Salve regina
has only the incipit notated by the original scribe; the larger part
is from a 2nd scribe). For a facs see TKVNM 53, p. 33.

resp. Similit[udo], [inv. ant.] Regem

There are two stripes of a missal, 11th century or ca 1100, page layout in two columns, with staffless Low Countries neumes, showing graduale Benedicam dominum in omni tempore.
There are also several fragments of 14th-15th-century Mass and Office fragments, mostly written in square notation on red staves. One of them has the hymn Apostolorum [...] post triduum tamen sensus sacratos pandere spondet and a responsory with the words funera saltationis.
