Summary

Fragmentary strip from a liturgical manuscript on parchment copied in France in textualis script, probably in the 15th century, cut and used as a printing mask or frisket sheet. The unidentifiable text on the strip is 22 text lines high, along the inner edge of the former leaf. Areas of the parchment are cut away where characters were to be printed in red. Lines of text in red ink, a byproduct of printing the desired characters in red, are indistinctly visible over the manuscript text on the recto side of the fragment.
