A fragment of a fifteenth-century gradual

The Fragmenta Manuscripta collection is again the source of this week's feature.  It's a fragment from a fifteenth-century gradual in Latin, possibly from England.  Note the square musical notation on a four-line staff.  The staff here agree that we particularly like the face in profile added to the large initial.  More information at the Digital Scriptorium.
