Item description from seller

Smallest piece: 209 x 152 mm. (8 1/8 x 5 7/8"); largest piece: 372 x 235 mm. (14 3/4 x 9"). Recovered from bindings and thus with uneven trimming and occasional small holes resulting in loss, staining and toning to vellum, some leaves with remnants of pastedowns obscuring the script, but generally the leaves quite legible, substantially complete, and in presentable condition. This packet contains five vellum manuscript leaves, all complete or nearly so, all with musical notation, and all serving as linings or covers of a binding when reused in their second lives. Prepared with an academic audience in mind, the group presents an excellent opportunity for libraries, teachers, and students to develop or expand their teaching or personal collections. In addition to their obvious value as manuscripts containing the text and music of the Medieval period, these leaves are also of educational importance as physical artifacts demonstrating the reuse of manuscript material in the production of later bindings. The shape of each binding is still easily discernable, and a few of these specimens even include early spine labels and ink notations, as well as paper remnants used in the bookbinding process.…
