AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Spectacular and monumental choir-book leaf for liturgical chant of large format, handwritten on authentic animal vellum or parchment of the period. 17th–18th centuries. Fragment of the famous liturgical hymn to the Assumption of the Most Holy Virgin Mary ('O prima, Virgo, prodita' / 'Regina formosissima')
This text and its melody were part of the Divine Office (specifically the Laudes and Vesperae) in the solemnities dedicated to the Virgin. When the monastic or capitular community celebrated the Assumption and the celestial glory of Mary united with Christ, the choir intoned these stanzas in unison before the facistol—the monumental lectern located in the center of the monastic choir.
On one side, Gregorian musical notation on four-line staves. On the other, it shows the liturgical text continued with careful liturgical Gothic calligraphy on a visible ruled grid, highlighting the capitular 'H' in vermilion ('Hic margaritae emicant...') and verses dedicated to the Queen of Heaven ('Regina formosissima, Christo iugata Principi').
Size about 55 x 34 cm. Very decorative.
Original from the period. Excellent piece with no reserve price. Great opportunity.
