The covers of this book, printed in Strasbourg in 1562, incorporate a musical manuscript! The pigskin portion of the binding is dated the same year as the book! (A88.0/H86) #ManuscriptMonday #Fragmentology #rarebooks

Ever wondered how much illumination cost?
This note in MS 281 reveals all:
8 large initials for 4 shillings, 188 small initials for 7 shillings 10 pence, and 450 paraphs for 4 pence!
A bargain in today’s money . . .
