Ms. Codex 1233 is a pretty amazing manuscript. Originally written in the early-to-mid 15th century, it was used continuously through the end of the 18th century. Written in Cologne and probably used by the canons in the Cologne Cathedral, this notated breviary (a liturgical book containing the canonical hours - daily prayers - with musical notation) includes notes and additions made up to 1794. It also includes splatters of candle wax and one page that got a little too close to a candle!

Episode 22: Laura Estill on Dramatic texts, Commonplace books, and Profane & debauched atheists

“Profane, & Debaucht Atheists” (Bodleian MS Sancroft 29, p. 1)

In Episode 22 of Inside My Favorite Manuscript, Dot and Lindsey talk with Laura Estill about Bodleian MS Sancroft 29. Archbishop of Canterbury William Sancroft (1617-1693) was an avid reader and collector of extracts from various works. MS Sancroft 29 is one of many manuscripts in his hand that survives; it is a dramatic commonplace books, that is, it contains bits and pieces of many plays that Sancroft read most of them from the century before Sancroft lived, including Shakespeare. We learned so much about the reception of drama in the seventeenth century, and we hope you enjoy listening to our conversation.

You know you've assimilated as a manuscript librarian when you get one with five-line musical staves and they look weird to you

#the five-line staff is extremely rare before about the 16th century #the manuscript i am processing now is 17th but #i don't see musical mss that are this late that much at work #i'm more likely to see older ones that have been used as binding material #and of course chant mss continued to use four-line staves for centuries #because that's just how chant notation works
