DescriptionThis is probably from the same manuscript as F.143-4 and F.13b. A major initial from a musical manuscript, judging by the size of this 'miniature' (combined with the size of the text, musical notation and staves), it does seem likely that the manuscript was a monastic choir book (probably a Gradual or Antiphonal). This would have originally been part of the Central School's Teaching Examples Collection.
