Recently I found what claims to be a 16th century-page from a Spanish Antiphonal in a steamy attic at a small fine antique furniture store. As a musicologist, I am familiar with the history and musical notation, but I do not have enough knowledge to determine if this is a true 16th-century relics or a more modern replica. It is on vellum, is rather sizable, and came with a brief description that seems to indicate it may have been an auction item. The description mentions the red and blue tempera "I" and that the pagination is contemporary as well. Any thoughts? I've attached as wide a variety of pictures that I could; if more are needed of specific bits, I would gladly post them. -Andrew[/QUOTE]
