<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4268619, member: 36"]I'd plump for the real deal. Those antiphonals were big suckers; they didn't have wall projection in the old days, and everyone had to literally read from the same page since they were all hand-copied into the 18th century. There was one in every decent-sized church and each had a lot of pages, so I'd say odds are good. (and don't ask me where I learned ANY of that! There are lots of random bits jammed into odd corners of my skull.) What it's worth I haven't the faintest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
