Notes

• Initial E
   
• This initial begins the first antiphon at Lauds for the feast of the Birth John the Baptist (June 24), 'Elyzabeth zachariae magnum virum genuit johannem baptistam precursorem domini.' (Elizabeth [wife] of Zachary gave birth to John the Baptist, a great man and precursor of the Lord). Lewis E M 65:1-78 were once thought to have come from a single manuscript associated with the Cistercian monastery at Zwettl in Austria. It has been determined, however, that the leaves are from a number of separate manuscripts and were likely produced by a team of scribes and artists at the scriptorium of the Benedictine monastery at Melk.
   
• These leaves can be dated to ca. 1430-1440.
   
• This image shows the reverse of a leaf with an initial from an antiphonary. This side of the leaf, the true recto, contains chants for Matins of the same feast as that on the front of the leaf.
