Gregorian Chant on Vellum

Just trying to get an idea of how to start going about appraising and dating a couple vellum chant pieces I picked up recently.

Link to photos of the pieces.

Take a browse through eBay's Completed Listings. That will give you an idea of supply and demand.

Hi @LeoXIII and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!! Most members are Extremely hesitant to go to an off-site link to view images. However, here's the general information and links right on site here, to resize images that are over the 1 MB limit per image!!

First, if using a phone, or iPhone, Try emailing them to yourself as "medium" size, they should then be under 1 MB!

Each image MUST be UNDER 1 MB....
There are instructions on site here on how to reduce the size of your image, if that is the problem......you are allowed up to 8 images per post!!! Here are some links to the instructions:

If on the computer:

If on an iPhone:

And if on an Android phone:

As an added note, when you have your photos LISTED, BEFORE you hit POST,
please click on the wording that says to "POST EVERY IMAGE FULL SIZE" !! That way, we're not clicking on little thumbnails, but get to see all of the images full sized!! Thanks! Remember, it takes a bit for MOST new members to get the hang of it, but it's really quite simple once you get it!!!"

 

Thanks, that a great direction to start. I've looked through that a bit and I'm concluding that I'll probably have to research a bit more... Hoping for a few more ideas.

Welcome your Holiness. Or is it Count Pecci now?
I am impressed that a man aged 212 is able to comprehend modern technology. I noticed that you fibbed about your age, but I'll put that down to the forgetfulness of your advanced years.

 

I can't see your imgur image and wonder if others are having the same problem.

 

Sorry, looks like it was hidden. Now public.

 

I am the oldest person to have ever been put on motion picture... Some might consider me an early adopter.

 

Ah, yes, in the 1890s, if I'm correct. I'm in awe!
