Description from the seller
An authentic, beautifully preserved double-sided liturgical music sheet (Antiphonary / Gradual leaf) dating back to the 17th or 18th century.
This leaf features Latin Gregorian chants for the Feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, celebrated on June 29th (indicated by the headings "Junij", "Die 29", "In sanctorum apostolorum"). The liturgical content includes well-known chants such as the Gradual "Clamaverunt iusti et Dominus exaudivit eos" (The righteous cry, and the Lord hears them) and the Responsory "Simon Petre antequam de navi vocarem te..." (Simon Peter, before I called thee from the ship, I knew thee).
The sheet is written/printed in red and black ink using traditional square musical notation on a 4-line red staff (tetragram). It is beautifully adorned with an exquisite woodcut illustration depicting Jesus calling Simon Peter by the sea, alongside a prominent decorative initial "S" and ornate marginal rubrics.
• Material: Heavy early paper or parchment (consistent with period liturgical choir books).
• Language: Latin.
• Condition: Good antique condition with minor time-staining and natural edge wear/fraying, which enhances its authentic historical character. Completely stable.
• Dimensions: 37 x 52 cm (including the wooden frame).
